Just came back from the first "GOOD" ride with all the suspension work  sorted out, for the new members that would be a GSXR 750 rear shock and a complete 750 Katana front end. All I can say is if you love the way the bandit handles  stock it will blow you away with how it handles with a real suspension under the bike. The braking of the 2 disks is mind blowing, I can brake soooo late now it freaks out the guys I ride with, that and the back wheel is always about 2" off the ground  LOL. Any kind of bump no matter how big no longer upsets the bike, THIS IS THE WAY THE BIKE SHOULD HAVE COME STOCK!
So if your thinking of the above mods just do it you will not be disappointed

I have had time to properly set it up now.   Like setting the preload and damping on the rear and changing the oil in the forks and setting it to the right level and playing with the damping adjustments on them as well. The big thing though is getting use to the new front brakes I guess its just a time thing, I have had the bike so long you just get use to what it's going to do when you pull on the brake lever so hard. Now add twice as much braking power and you have to relearn lol
