ok, I finally made some head way.... I got a 96/97 air box. Of course it doesn't fit. I had to cut the fire out of it. I put tape to cover up the hole that I cut out. I put the ****97 TANK/PUMP**** not a 01+ and I runs and idles ok. The 97 fuel pump has a vaccum nipple that is needed for the carbs. If you don't use that, it'll run bad. It still sounds ruff(like a twin) at idle but revs just fine. I'm going to try to some new plugs and I hope that helps at idle.
I'll post pics of the NASTY looking air box. and funny looking tank later on...

for now, I have a 750 motor, jetted carbs I think,k&N fitler and a full race D&D race exhuast. kinda worried about ridding it one the steet. I think it's going to be all unusable power. we'll see

need to get a battery. then it should be drivable in the neighbor hood.

GSXR-400 : there is a guy local that has a bunch of 96-99 gsxr parts that he is putting on ebay. what can I use from that style bike on my bandit. I'm thinking the front end and maybe the swingarm and shock. I'm looking for as close to bolt on as possible.
thanks

Pardon my French, but Holy phuck!!!!! The wheel came up with in the first 100 ft. I have a 6 or 7 year old 160 on the back. I thought it would spin but of course NO! It bit and the front wheel jumped up. I was more nervous in 2nd. So I didn't really get on it that hard. I have to put the bike together better before I ride it farther. It's kind of half ass'd back together cause I could wait another minute to ride the darn thing.

it's also set up with GP shifting.

have to seriusly modify frame

albertinhouston · « **Reply #24 on:** October 29, 2006, 10:15:19 PM »

yes lots of welding......
rear motor mounts have be moved. Aline everything to the chain.
frame has to be cut so the motor will fit. thats really about it. Air box will have to be custom. stock gas tank will not work. Not even close.

I would do a few things different though...
1) have a running bike so you know everything is working....
2) use a FI motor

well well well!!!!!!!!!!! the bike had a gsxr 600 set of carbs on it.

freakin shop I got it back from. bought a 750 set local. put them on there and can get it to run. It idles real high but I think its all the extra chemiclas in the carb from cleaning it. have to change the plugs and I hope to drive it more than 2 miles....

also I bought 91 USD COMPLETE front end and swing arm with 5.5 rear rim I think its going to look sweet. if the swing arm and tire will fit

sorry to bring up a very old post but I'm excited again. about the bike.

If you got the motor in the frame, fitting the swingarm should be a walk in the park.

Feel free to take more pics and post them, especially of the detail work it took to get it in there.

Maybe that explains the e-bay auction for the bandit front end and the pic with the blue and white tank. Seller named Albert, located in Houston. Hmmmm.

albertinhouston · « **Reply #28 on:** March 16, 2007, 05:46:46 PM »

NAAA that wouldn't be it.... well when the 600 carbs go up then I guess i'll fess up to it.

I hope to work on it this weekend. do the swaps.

albertinhouston · « **Reply #29 on:** March 16, 2007, 10:03:31 PM »

91 gsxr front is a direct bolt on. only mod that needs doing is the stearing head stops on the frame are in the way OR... grind the ones off the lower tripple tree.
same for putting the bandit front end on the gsxr. That actually looks better on that bike.
will post some pics later tonight.
