    finely!!! am moving on... got Bandit 600 front forks & yokes... £125..sweet.

    after removing GT yokes, and doing some measuring to the yoke stem.. have found that a 15mm thick spacer to the bottom of the Bandit yoke stem, where the bottom taper bearing gos should work well.. then take 3mm off the thickness of the stem, so the GT bottom taper bearing will fit, the top bearing is same size so no need to alter that, but may need a 5mm spacer for the steering lock nut ?.

    took the yokes to work today.. had the yoke stem pressed out of the bottom yoke so it can be turned down.. "5 tonne popped it out"..no trouble!!

    next step... the arse end.. keeping with bandit, going to graft the bandit swing arm on.. but convert it to twin shock try and keep to the 70's look if i can ?..

    BoL**KS...

    engine back in frame...Modded swing arm in place... the bandit sprocket carrier
    won't work!!!

    the front sprocket lineament to the rear is far to large!! would have to take nearly 2" off

    had a talk with a GT owner he's told me I'll need a GSX750F rear sprocket carrier as it's smaller and it will only need about 9mm taking off it for it to work,

    I'll give it a go and see what happens...
