Tony H Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Evening. I have 43mm GSXR 750 forks in my EFE but want a bit more height. Are bandit MK1 longer in stanchion length? Quote
snoorder Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Should be around 5 cm as I remember correctley Quote
bluedog59 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Just measured my spare Bandit 12 Mk1 forks. They're are 778mm, spindle centre to stanchion top, fully extended. Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) 1100 slingy are 760-750mm ish depending on year, 750 slingy are 740-725mm ish ive got a set of 735mm 750 l/m ones on my bandit and they were fine until I fitted a fatter cooler and went on a track, at full compression at the hairpin at Pembray with a fat bloke hard ( panicking) on the brakes the mudguard touched the cooler, if you are a small sized child and have a standard thickness cooler that should be OK.I got over the problem by welding 2 top yokes together to gain back 20mm or so, of course there was a lot of Tut Tut'ing, and head shacking and " that will never last" " It will snap off and you will die"" How much height do you need is 20mm enough?? could weld a couple together?? ive got a couple of 43mm sling/bandit top yokes in the big box of bits I think Funny old thing that was in 2008 and I think I can safely say it don't handle bad and its never snapped off and killed me Edited August 1, 2015 by fatblokeonbandit Quote
Tony H Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks. The forks I have are roughly 750 just need new seals so I'll see how they go and watch out for some Bandit ones at the right price. Quote
