Title: bandit rear end
Post by: suzukimad on October 26, 2003, 02:37:21 AM
Heard that the back end (swingarm,wheel,ect) of bandit 600gsf fits the gs ok.

can anyone confirm this.If so can it fit without any mods.

The rear wheel itself will fit the GS swingarm with minor mods.  At least I think this true of the Bandit 600 as well as the 400 wheel.  Does the Bandit 600 rear take a 150 series tire?  Not sure about the entire Bandit swingarm conversion.

Servus,

it fits to take a 6er Swingarm in the GS without any problems.

could you elaborate? What experience do you have with this? What has to be done to make it fit?  Inquiring minds want to know.

roundball tried the VFR400 SSA.....he was not impressed
it was about 3 inches shorter than stock GS and was very unstable

Servus,

its easy to take the swingarm, wheel and brake from the 6er Bandit into the GS. I make it in 3 Hours.

You can put every year from the 6er Bandit.

See my Pictures in the Gallery Site 9 the orange one.
