It fits!!!!! excellent Guy Wife just bollocked me for not making the tea, sorry matey. too bust talking to think about Tea !!!!

I got my first 1200 bandit 21 years ago after many years of gsxr ownership, but my knees were shot so after riding the first bandit I was converted, so id say keep the 600 shiny frame and fit all the 1200 parts to it, But as this is an oldskool site most people will say get the 1100 and use that, Us Bandit owners are tolerated on here.. Anything you need to know just ask as ive had a few and modified all of them

Simple answer, fix the 1200 and use the 600 for bits all the bits are interchangeable as the frames are the same except for a few tiny differences, mark 1 4 pots are easier to maintain than the mk 2 6 pots so people generally refer to them as better brakes. they bolt straight onto a 1200 but not a 600.. get a gsxr shock there are loads that fit, needs to be 320 - 330 mm eye to eye..

The 1156 engine and lack of bottom mount denotes the very first production models, also had a different swinger and a gsxr loom and cdi.. But they were all 1996, in 97 they became the mark 1 with bottom mounts the different swinger loom and no cc marked on the barells. So yours was registered late or it's an import??? ..

is it a 1996 and dose it have 1156 stamped on the left of the barells???

Done the other way round many times, you must have a good reason ?? all you need to do is press out the stems and swop them over move the steering stops and that's it, you're 4 pot nissins are the same as the bandit one so fit on, the speedo cables are different but the speedo,drives swop straight over as well.

Of course shipmate, pm me you address

I'll have a look

Any good to anyone, ill never have another water cooled, its the supplement for the suzuki manaul..

ive done a few different permutations, b6 mk1 and mk2 cover on 1127 and 1052 and power screen engines and they are all different, I use a bit of 6mm wooden dowel to chop down to get the right length then use that measurement to make a Steele one..

Good question, shipmate, that deserves a much better answer than i can give you at this time the very first modles in 96 were marked 1156, after that from 97 on they are blank even though they are classed 1157cc

all 1200 have a blank space at the bottom of the cylinder where the cc would normally be..

count the number of gears

Bottom rear engine mount is 10mm on 600, 12mm on 1200, 600's are silver 1200's dark grey, 1200 has 14 fins on the barrel, 600 has 12 fins. 1200 goes much faster than a 600

a lot of slinsghots have the same pic up as a 1200 bandit the part number is the same B1200 33110-17C00 750 K 33110-17C00 1100m 33110-17C00 and many more im sure
