Bandit 1200 rear wheel - SV650.org

11-03-06, 08:05 PM

I've read that a 1200 Bandit rear wheel can be fitted easily to the Curvey! Has anyone got info on this mod?

Give me... 3 days.

It looks to be a moderately easy fit, either new bearings and spacers, or a great big captive spacer going through the whole thing, sprocket carrier and all. I think you need to grind down the brake caliper hanger too.Plus, you need to either fit a 530 pitch chain and front sprocket to match the B12, or find a 525 or 520 pitch sprocket for the wheel. Seems that GS500Es might have a compatible 520 pitch one. Supersprox don't make one to suit yet though it's on their list of possible new models now. Renthal will though.

B12 wheel weighs as much as a planet though...

ps. Nothing NOS won't sort out

You're obsessed with that 180 section tyre aren't you

Its the only thing that spoils the look of the bike (skinny rear wheel)

With me, it's purely for something to do

I don't expect any benefits, in fact I kind of expect minor drawbacks, but it should look rather nice...

It certainly does look pretty good

Does anyone know the code on the spoke on a Bandit 1200 rear wheel.

I've got a selection of 520ha renthal sprockets that I think are Bandit fitment, will check and see what sizes they are
