Author Topic: Wanted: Bandit 400 VV parts (Read 3289 times)

Hi all,

Does anyone have any spare parts (or have any idea where to get them) for a gen 2 variable valve bandit 400 (1995 onwards, chassis no. GK7AA)?

The parts I'm interested in are:

The one-piece back plastic (black)
The fuel tank (black)
Both rearsets (hangers, footpegs and gear changer and brake pedals)
Speedometer cover
Both side engine/crankshaft covers
LHS pillion hanger and peg

Note: many of the parts aren't the same as the pre 95 models.

All help welcome
Alex

For whatever reason, most of the parts on the b4 were changed (very very slightly) for the gen 2 bandit.

I only found this out after buying a centre stand and a pair of handlebars, but if anyone wants to buy them off me just ask (I'm going to stick them on ebay when I get round to it).

I just managed to buy the hangers and pegs for the front and pillion from West Coast Salvage.

Thanks for the tip flint 666.

your welcome

I think that a standard b4 exhaust will fit i just need to find one

I know that the vvt has seperate headers and can where as most of the systems for the b4 where a one peice unit

Have you tried giving Robinson's Foundry a ring - they're able to import most parts (but a bit too expensive for the larger pieces I'm after - £150 +postage +VAT for the tail piece

)
