USD Forks on a bandit 600

Hi guys and Gals,

As some might have read my poor bandit is looking a little messy at the moment. After my bump both my front forks are looking more like silver/chrome banana's then suspension!

Anyhow, what I was wondering is this. I've seen a few bandits in mags sporting USD forks. does anyone know what ones will fit in the standard yokes? Mines a 96N 600

I've seen some standard ones on ebay of late but fancy a change.

Thanks for any help.

No USD forks will fit the standard yokes. If you're looking at forks you'll need the yokes, brake callipers & possibly the front wheel to go with them. Then I'm not sure exactly how yo fit the bar risers to clamp onto the Bandits handle bars.

I belive that the ones to look out for are Slingshot GSXR1100 / GSXR750 forks. Newer GSXR forks are not long enough for the Bandit.

On the whole i'd suggest that you money may be better spent getting the forks fixed ( new fork stansions & springs ) then instead of putting standard prings back in treat yourself to some after market jobbies such as Hagon or Ohlins. ( I've track tested the Hagon springs )
