Ok, im looking to know do the models of bandit with the clipons have the same LENGTH forks as the ones with the straight bars.
Reason is i have a b400 with straight bars (single disc model) and my fork stanchions are pitted. I can get hold of a set of forks from the jap import model with the 2 discs and clipons. I was planning on taking the stanchions out of the jap forks and putting them into my normal forks.
I always thought that both the bandits had the same forks except on the twin disc/clipon model the top triple was different and there was a caliper mount on both sides. So the stanchions would be the same.

there is a slight difference but someone on here already did this with gsxr 400 tubes and it has worked fine so if that's your option i would say go for it. Or do a search and find the post about the other fellow doing it.

Every time i try to do a search it brings back pretty much every thread ever posted about anything lol.
I suppose i could try it anyway since the forks are so cheap.
I would have thought the forks would be the same length.
Was it a big difference in length between them when the other guy did it?

Thanks mate thats helpful
I just won a mint set of B4 forks on the bay so i guess my problems are solved after i get them fitted :bigok:
-
Sortve along the same lines just how adjustable are gsxr gk73 forks compared to bandit ones? I assume all the bandit stuff bolts onto them such as calipers but they have some adjustment am i correct?

yes spring preload and rebound and they use the same brakes as the dual caliper model
