RevinKevin Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Hi does anyone know if a GSXR 750 k rear shock will fit on a 1996 1200 Bandit ? If it does is it suitable with weight difference of the two motorcycles. Edited March 5, 2021 by RevinKevin Further question needed Quote Link to comment

fatblokeonbandit Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 depends which year GSXR, the Mk1 bandits rear shock is 305MM ish, most K series shocks are 330 ++ish so wont fit, BUT a 1000 K7/8 is 315mm ish, so fits with a squeeze and some wasjers to space the spring, ... makr 2 bandits are 320 mm so loads of gsxr k series shocks fit. I find the K7/8 shocks fine on a bandit ive used them on about 10 or more of mine, if your a chubster like me than you might need to re spring it for your weight.. Quote Link to comment
RevinKevin Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Thanks, I had been told the 1000k 7/8 would fit. Just had some one offer up the 750 one but I will decline. Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Get the hole to hole measurements as some 750 ones might be shorter , ive always stuck to 1000 ones as i know they fit?? Quote Link to comment
