Are the upper triples compatible between the bandit 400 and GS500?

The B4 steering stem is longer too. Same diameter and bearings though, so you can work around that easily if you have a complete front end.

I have the whole front end...but it's on my rat bike. I was trying to think of a visually pleasing way to mount guages and I like the way the GS's guages mount.

Hell man, I'd use the Bandit gauges, they're hella nicer than the GS pieces - and if memory serves, the B4 has a 160 mph speedometer.

I don't have bandit guages, though.
