Re: single side swingarm in a 400 bandit.
Hi mate,
A friend tried to fit a rvf4 rear in his way back and gave up as the suspesion leans forward on the B4 but vertical on the honda. To fit the frame needed heavy bracing/moving of the upper suspension mount that ment moving loads of other stuff so it quickly became a big hole in the head. Most people put the gsxr4 rear in and run the wider wheel (me included) or rgv.

Re: single side swingarm in a 400 bandit.
Thought I saw one with a nc30 arm in it?
or what year model gsxr4 wheel and arm do I need to be looking for? is it a straight swap? are there any other bits I might need gsxr shock etc?

Re: single side swingarm in a 400 bandit.
Take a look at my b4 in the gallery, you need every thing from a 89 73a (17" wheel) or 76a, they have 160 tyres and adjustable suspension. You need everything as they have bigger dia axle so rear caliper, disc etc.
Lighter, shorter, jack the rear a bit and bobs ya uncle.
