I can't help, but I'm curious what bandit rear wheel you're looking for? Between the 400, 600, and 1200, there are significant differences. And usually it's cheaper and easier to go with a Katana rear wheel.

I believe the one on the 600 is 4.5" wide rim. Anyhow, that's the one I want.

I dont believe the 600 is a 4.5 - till you get post 650 (maybe) ...

You dont need the brake arm off the bandit, you need to bend the GS one.

I think the sv is also 4.5 but has a 20mm axle.
The bandit may be 4.5, but the 4.5 rear wheel that is a drop in for the GS is the 98+ katana 6/7 and those are plentiful and cheaper and easier to get than the bandit.
Cool.
Buddha.

Thanks Buddha!

I don't have a torch for means of bending the brake arm. I was hoping that the bandit would be a simple switch out with the bend already in it.
