Cobby Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I'm looking for a USD front end for my 750 inazuma which I believe is the same headstock as the bandit, I know the slingy front end is relatively straightforward to use but finding a decent one is proving a bit difficult, what other USD setups have other people used on bandits and inazuma that isn't too much work to get it to fit?

Duckndive Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I Did not bother with USD,s as i wanted to keep the retro look "ish" i just fitted a complete Trumpit 995 Front end Stem Swop and New Lock Stops they will work without but they have 50mm Extensions in but a stepped yoke would also work..... Any of the newer Radial USD front ends can be fitted without much trouble basicly stem and lockstops... downsides are there expensive and no mechanical speedo ...but you can fit the Zuma Wheel in the modern stuff as well spacers bearings etc 2 Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 my bandit has a triumph 675 front end on it, they are about 25mm longer than the standard B12 front end so no nose dive, i slid the forks through so i could keep the standard bandit ride height. 3 Quote Link to comment

Any problems with soft springing? A Triumph 675 is a whole lot lighter than a 1200 Blandit. Quote Link to comment

Do they have adjustable compression and rebound damping, and preload? Quote Link to comment
