I think Herr Tod is correct - I think the twin discers have smaller discs. Also, you don't have a boss for the right-side caliper. You'd need at least the right fork leg off a 2x disc bike.

Hmmm...is it possible there is a GSXR rotor and caliper that would bolt up to the Bandit fork leg? This combo and a nissin master cylinder sounds like good (cheap) brake upgrade without having to swap the entire front end.

No you wouldn't.

You'd put the whole GSXR front end on it.

For the single disc Bandits that want twin discs. it's easiest to swap a twin disc front end on the bike. You can choose from Katanas, bigger Bandits or if you wanna go USD while you're at it, early GSXR750 USD units.

And what's up with the gold 6-pot Nissin calipers - I was under the impression they're the same as the black ones, except for paint color.

Yes you would put just one gixxer 400 rotor on and one caliper, but if you want the whole speel rgv 250 coventional forks are the same and gixxer 400 GK73 , i seen rf 600 forks on they looked good

And yes the gold is the same as the black just color choice

the rgv and the gk73 slide right into your tripple so you dont need a complete front end! and can use yur front wheel!

Dammit! nobody, absolutely NOBODY, is selling front ends on ebay these days

But it'll be something to keep in mind when the time comes...
Thanks everyone!!

I'm intrigued by this post and the auctions you found. Forgive me, I've searched the myriad of front-end swap options and I'm trying to keep everything straight.

With the GSXR400 forks, I could use my stock, single-disc front wheel. Correct?

Would I need the GSXR400 caliper too? And would I have to switch to the smaller GSXR400 disc?

Oh...My...God...
...
Mine! Mine! Mine!

Dayum!
This is very, very interesting and oh so tempting...
I'll keep my eyes out on those bids!!

Same front wheel, 2 gixxer discs and calipers or 6 piston calipers from a 750 1100 or i even think bandit calipers 1200 or rgv 250 calipers and more im sure! this will slide right in your triple trees!

Same front wheel...

Huh? My front wheel does not have anywhere to bolt on a right-side rotor.
