Parts Interchange

[BanditGirl33]

Because bandit 400 parts are so hard to find, does anyone know any interchangeable parts between a 400 and 600, or any other bike for that matter??

What kind of parts are you looking for?

[BanditGirl33]

mostly body parts, front fairing, rear hugger, and aftermarket accessories to make it a little different

Hmm, not sure on the plastics.

I'm pretty sure any aftermarket front fairing or windscreen with a 6.5" opening for the headlight will fit. Buell Blast screens bolt right on, I've heard.

If you find a -real- Bandit 400 front fairing, grab it up quick. They are uber-rare. I've heard of some people grafting Ninja 500 bodywork on, but then, I'm sure you can fit just about anything to it if you know how to work fiberglass.

There isn't a huge aftermarket for the Bandit 400 anymore, not sure if there ever was. Occasionally you can find bits on Ebay, though.

You might try checking out Wild Hair Accessories. I don't have their link handy at work, but they used to have some fairings and rearsets that'd fit.

On the fairing...

First Todd, I think it's a 7" headlight.  There are a bunch of fly screen options.  The cheapest is to get one from Buell - either a blast ot Lightning.  Holeshot makes one just like the Lightening, too.  That's what I have.  Wild Hair, Streetfighters USA, Streetfighters By Design and a bunch of other places have cool (and weird) streetfighter fairings.  Search ebay for Streetfighter Fairing or Cafe Racer and you'll find some interesting stuff usually.  Do a global search of this enire board (not just the 400) for "Streetfighter" and I think you'll see some varying options, too.

Have fun!

A bit pricey, but good-looking aftermarket fairing for the '400:

I almost bought one of these, but opted instead for a larger National Cycle F-15. The F-15 isn't really meant for the '400, but it fits "right" with a steep rake, or "wrong" with a useful one (as I did). I had to create a "blind" to keep the headlight that was being reflected back to me from blinding me at night.

Transform the handling, tho. I used to get my ass kicked at 60mph or higher by wind buffeting, but now I slice right through.

National Cycle also makes the smaller F-16 SPORT SHIELD that is more in line with sportbike fairings.

are there any other interchangable parts for the front brake rotor?

i know you can switch the rear brake rotor with a bit older gsx katana and gs500.

thanks!

this thread gives me an idea, as parts are so hard to locate for our 400's and we know that some parts are a direct swap for other bikes, i think it would be worth compiling a list what parts can be swapped for what, if you get my meaning..... what do you guys think?
