DMD Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Hi all. Building a cafe racer of a Bandit 12 frame which will be good enough to grace the pages of this site. Need a little info.Will 1100 W forks fit Bandit 1200 Mk1 yokes and will I be able to use all the bandit running gear.I've seen the post on the old site putting slingshot forks in a bandit 12 just not sure if the later 1100's are classed as slinshots. Cheers. Quote

Cheers.Gsxr 1100 w forks fit yokes with a 50mm top and 55mm bottom so won't fit bandits yokes (43mm top and bottom) I've used a set of 1100 W forks with a set of yokes from a TL1000S and my bandit. Had to have a small bit of machine work done on the bottom yoke to fit a bandit stem and bore about .50mm so the forks would fit. The TL1000S yokes lockstops are a prefect match for the bandit headstock. Have about 3mm clearance from the the forks touching the oil cooler either side so have the maximum turn available. Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 the 2 gsxr 1100 sets ive fitted to bandits were 52mm top and 56mm bottom, swopped stems over in the yokes drilled and tapped 2 x 8mm holes for bolts for lock stops and in they went, then you can use the bandit 1200 wheel, discs, callipers, spindle and speedo drive, all you need is 4 x 2mm spacers to get the callipers to line up with discs, f you use slingy discs then you don't need themheres some I made earlier for a 1200 mark 1 bandit, they were 1100 S 95 if I remember correctly Quote
