    Bandit wheels

    I have tried but I am unable to get an answer. I have a 1999 bandit 1200 front end on my 1000. I need wheels and have found some very nice 2003 wheels from a 1200 bandit. They are the same size, will they along with their disks fit the 1999 forks, they are different p/n on the parts books.

    Thanks,
    Daryl

    I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

    I haven't tried that combinaison but GSXR 1100 (K/L/M) wheels will fit Bandit 1200 forks.
    Beware of the disk offsets.
    They are different between the Bandit 1200 and the GSXR 1100.
    They could be different between the B12 phase 1 and 2.

      Thanks John, that is a great site. According to the site the disks from both generations are identical. So they shoud bolt up no problem as the sizes of the wheels are the same!

      Thanks again,

        The only problem is the the 03 Bandit wheel does not have the speedo drive on the front wheel. The 1996 to 2000 Bandit have the speedo drive. Other than that they are the same

          You are correct, I have access to an incredible machine shop and terribly skilled personnel and I am sure we can do something about that.

          Or I could just install one of the newer aftermarket multi display units.

          As it stands I have both the front and rear wheels from an 03 on the way

          Cheers,

            The back wheel should fit as well it is the same size axle. I switched my Bandits the 99 to a Busa frontend and wheels and my 01 to a GSXR1000 frontend and wheels. So I put a Bandit rear wheel on my GS1150. And the GS and the Bandit sprockets are the same bolt pattern plus the Bandit countershaft is the same spline as the GS's Makes switching to 530 set up a snap

              From the research I have done the 5.5 bandit rear will bolt up to my gs1100 swing arm with just a few new spacers. The crush drive will also bolt up.

              Can't wait to do this swap, this is going to really update the look of this 1000!
