Looked into this afew years ago to change the wheels on my harris,,, if you just want straight spokes then mark 2 bandit 1200 wheels will drop in same spindles, bearings and most spacers are the same, disc offset is 2mm off but slingy discs fit. if you are after the 2007 wheels specifically then you need 600/750 rear as they are 5.5 inch, 1100 front brgs 20x47x14 rear 20x47x14 600/750 frnt 25x52x15 rear 28x52x12 so fronts needed are 20 x 52 x 15 which are 6304 rears 20 x 52 x 12 which are BB1B447205A then it gets complicated with the sprocket carrier so I gave up and fitted spoked wheels instead!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bugger me thats shiny

Only a fekin' submariner could think of that

In had a 16 row setrab type on my tuned bandit for years, only went to 19 row when I 1216'd it, never had a problem

Already done, better get polishing the monkey bikes

Not necessarily, some welded some not, and some are 0.1mm smaller than others and need knurling..

600/750 srad, tl1000 s and r and hayabusa wheels and discs wlll all fit

Beat me to it, was thinking about it ealier, everything will drop in as long ax the fork centres are the same

Yes but if you use the 25mm spindle you cant use the speedo drive , I tried to bore one out to 25mm once and there was nothing left and it fell to bits, also is there enough room in the hub for the tube, as the bandit one is only 27mm OD and there's not a lot of space in there...??

Ive done this several times, there is no 25x47x14 standard bearing readily available bearing. So ive made a couple of sleeves for the bandit wheel spindle, one threaded to fit in the sppedo side and one plain split one for the right hand side, I had concerns about the discs but when fitted there is only 3 mm of the discs swept area not covered by the pads and they worked just fine. I used slingshot yokes and the calliper spacing was spot on with slingy discs and needed 2mm spacers with b12 discs, what are the fork cetres when using the Hondag yokes, the srad are 214mm if I remember right??, I got over the length issue by making a stepped yoke by welding 2 together to gain 25mm..

That's so clean you could eat a pasty off of it Do I need to bring some to Donnington for you and Mrs Yoshi.???

Bugger me thats shiny

top one number 3 51152-31E00

Don't worry Cooky there not picking on you, I've been on here years and still get abuse for owning a Bandit Must be time for a gratuitous bandit picture

Don't know the technical details, but I've stuck dot 750 head and cams on b1200's twice and both times I've got over 130 rwhp once Dyno'd and they both went like fek, used to be a really cheap way to get HP. last time I bought a complete engine with shagged gearbox for £50

Merci beaucoup shipmate

Anyone got a 750 J/K fork leg lying around who could stick a tape measure down it and measure the spindle centre to top of fork nut please, Cheers Chaps Happy new year shipmates

Depends how cheap you are, I made this one years ago to stop the mudguard hitting the oil cooler with 750 slingy forks, chopped off the ends of one youke and had them welded to another gained 25mm, total cost was £13 plus a cake for the welder. I now have shorter Hayabusa forks so I had this made, it gains 50mm and is excellent, JJ machine works made it Lots of clearance clarence

Ive always used one Barnett heavy duty spring and one suzuki one on various bandits, 8 years and a 1216 big bore on my shiny one and its never slipped, make sure you get the H/D ones , MT73 not the Barnett standard replacement ones MT71.

If the Bandit engine is not too tuned the standard OEM clutch with one H/D spring will be fine, mine was renewed with new Suzuki fibers in 2008, its a 1216 with 150 ish rwhp and has been used mainly on track days, sprinting and National hill climb association events, its been fine and never slipped once, I might renew the fibres this winter if I get round to having a look inside.. I did price up all the bits for a gsxr conversion then thought, why bother with the extra expense when the standard bit works fine???

NGK's in oily engines are notorious, get them soaked in petrol and they just give up glad its sorted shipmate

Why not just plug a bandit switch into the bandit loom and try it, would take 10 seconds..then you would know that the ignition circuit is correct??

there is an anti theft resistor in the base of the bandit ignition barell, it wont go without it, I have one here you can borrow to try if you are stuck,
