not 100% sure about this one mate.
I would phone bandit mania to double check, I had a quick look on their site and there is no mention of different shocks for different years.

I think Sue is the girl that usually answers and I have always found them helpful
best of luck

I don't know about the 1200 but the swingarm on the 600 is slightly different between the two versions so I have a hunch that it may be the same for the 1200. If you look at the aftermarket shocks the pre and post 2001 bandit part numbers tend to be different.

I thought this was a post about bandit owners discovering that they are riding naked GSXF's

:I can't believe it's not butter! :I can't believe it's not butter! :I can't believe it's not butter! Didn't the early Bandits have the same frame, wheels and gearbox too? Not sure to tell the truth. The Bandit is still a cracking bike :)
