Looks like a sv650 front end early ones used the same bearing as the b4 so if the stem is the same length or close you could just swap the whole b4 front end for a sv650 front end

I was looking at the 96 USD forks I have. the lower tripple had the notches for the turn stops ( not sure what to call them) just like the bandit. I'm probably going to try the 99 front end to see how it bolts up. I may even try 99 tripples with 91 forks to see what happens. just for general ideas for possible swaps for you all.

I can tell you that the bike handles a hell of alot better just with the clips-on's being in a better position than before, it just feels like I should be throwing it into a corner now. Can't wait to get it running right so I can slide the back end on the exits. well... then high side.

gonna try to put the rear 5.5 rim amd swingarm on this weekend. any tips on what to use to grind the frame with to get a flat surface? All i have is a disk grinder. I was thinking I SHOULD use a belt grinder.
also any tips on how to???
was gonna grind the left side and keep measuring the from the right till I take 6mm's off. the do the same for the other side. I have to remeasure but I think its 6mm on each side.

sorry for the long old posts but I'm getting excited about it again...

you can take the space you need for the swingarm off the frame , there is that much room? I usually have a machine shope cut the swingarm down to length then recess the bearings back and all looks stock. A bit pricey compared to what you are going to do but ive heard of way worse tried frabrications with sucess. Mine is 5mm cut off with the gsxr 2002 swinger same with the 06 gsxr 1000 im switching to. I think the rgv is 5mm or something like that herrtodd or bartjan can tell you that i think they have rgv swingers.

That freakin just happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
put the a stock set of carbs on and it ran ok. then I got cocky. so I nailed it in second. The bike leaped foward then fouled 3 plugs. the was a LONG ride home. so I got it home pulled the carbs looked in my intake and see a peice of air box sitting on my valve. Try to get it out then it falls into my motor.

the intakew valves were open. what are the chances of that.??? tried to get it out today couldn't find it so i said If I had to pull the head to get it out then I'll just pull the head to change a bent valve. Something worth doing it. put it together and and also put in some 150 mains and now I can almost crack it wide open. in 2nd the tire breaks loose like I was in water. gotta get put a light on that thing.... This thing is unbelievably(sp?) quick. cant wait to get a real jetting and sync the carbs. gonna try to get some video of it...

UPDATE:

ok I have it running pretty good. I have an old old rear tire on it so it spins a lot. I have yet to be able do roll on wheelie. I've been doing some down the street runs. I have a place that has a 3/4 mile striaght. finnally got to run it down there. You sitting??? Looks like i'm getting 135-140 in the 1/4. I ran that twice. So thats good enough for me. I'm not positive the speedo is right but I'm definaltelly flying. The bike is rock solid at that speed even with no front fairing. I'm tryng to tuck under the inst. cluster( 91 gsxr). The wind isn't too bad at all. If its runs fine for two more weeks I'm taking it to the 1/4 mile track. I'd like to see some real times. Mean while I'll be asking some of my friends for some roll-ons. My friends 06 r6 doesn't feel thas fast as the bandit. Im hoping that some one will be offering a free dyno day soon.

will keep you guys up dated.

Tried to make a video for ya'll( I'm from Texas). Not very good but here it is. me driving off down the road. Notice the smoke from the first gear rolling burn out. You can't tell, but it was getting sidways all through second. Sorry it's not better. but I tried. Listen to the revs thats about the best part.

On a side note!!!!!!!! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF GAS to complete the ride. It really sucks when you run out and your about a 2 miles from home. Thanks goodness for the bike being very light and for my wife, who let me hang on to her SUV and pulled me home.

That was wood-inducing right there...

Yo what fuel pump did you have to use cuz the 98 is oval and the 2002 is round and the 2002 tank has a round hole clue me in brother scrambling to get parts.
cheers
