Bandit 1250 and 1200 swingarm the same? 1100 Upgrade

[Arronduke]

I have a line on a 1250 bandit swingarm is it the same as the 1200?
This is for a 1100 SD upgrade 83.

I have the Katman swingarm kit but not sure about the 1250 item.

The only thing that is the same is they both use a 20mm pivot bolt. The 1250 arm is 23.25" long and 1.75" longer than the 1200 arm and takes the larger wheel axle so you need to use the Bandit 1250 rear wheel with it or a Busa or GSXR 1000/750 wheel. The 1200 arm is 21.50" long and uses the same size axle bolt as the GS1100/1150 20mm
Hope this helps
I prefer the 1250 arm because it allows you to use the newer wheels without the use of adapters and I like the added wheel base. The Katman kit will work because the pivot end is the same on both.

If you use the bandit suspension linkage and shock you can switch to mono shock fairly easy. I used the center stand bracket for the the pivot arm and weld a piece of square tubing with a piece of the tube cut away to a c channel for the top shock mount to the rear cradle brace
