Please be awear if you own a 1997 bandit 1200.Check the FWD part of your swingarms pivot point for cracks.On mine it could have been from a previous spill I dont know.the bike has not always been mine so please be safe not sorry.And dose anyone know if a GSXR 750 1996 swingarm will fit the Bandit,I have hered that it might.Thanks Guys & Gals.Hope to hear from somone sooooon.[:@]
