The Bandit 600's (donno about the 400) is too wide to fit the frame and the Katana uses a wierd linkage system that is uncompatable with the GS.

RGV 250 arms are the best transplant candidate they are lighter and massively braced by comparison. How well depends on the year. I have a 91 or so one and it would require adapter spacers to be machined both front and rear for it.

I'm still toying with if I want to put it on a frame or not... Depends on if anyone wants to buy it from me.
