So a little back ground on the project,
I am rebuilding a 97 GS500 from the ground up.
I happened to get a complete front end off of a (not sure what year) bandit. It has the welded triple on the bottom.
The problem here is i would really like to keep standard bars and stay away from clip-ons.
So my question is, is there a triple clamp set that would allow me to do this with the 41mm forks?
It would be even better if i was able to press in the GS stem and not have to worry about machining a stem and spacers to work.
Thanks for the help.
Also i know some year gsxr swing arm and rear wheels will work but its there a rear that is wide enough to run 150s without the whole swing arm. Making spacers here is fine.
Thanks,
Kole
!50/70 Roadattack tire on stock 3.5" rear wheel. Adequate clearance all around except it touched brake torque bar which required a little bend for clearance.

150/60 will keep the diameter a bit closer to the original if that's what you want. Also a bit lighter and available in a few more quality brands and types.
try meguelli 250 rr clip ons,
or gpz 1100
they are all 41 mm
and if im remembering correctly vfr 400 nc30 clip ons should do the trick aswell

I don't think he's after clip ons.
What bandit has clip ons ???
None AKAIK.
You get a katana FE ??? those have clip-on's.
Cool.

Yeah, the Bandit has a standard handlebar as far as I know. If the bandit front end you have has clip ons, it at the very least isn't a stock bandit front end.
Def agree with Buddha here. You sure the FE you have isn't a Katana FE and not a Bandit FE?
