Just checking if anyone knows whether I can just chuck an entire front wheel off my 2002 1200 bandit onto my 2012 1250FA?

Will be loads quicker than messing around swapping the tyres. (New tyres don't arrive until middle of next week and I'd like to keep using the bike!)

If no one knows I'll just do it and see what happens - what could possibly go wrong? Laughing

If you've got it to hand just whang it in. It'll either line up or it won't.

Given Suzuki's track record for re-using parts from elsewhere in their range I wouldn't be surprised if it fitted.

Balls.

Too wide or do the discs not go?

Discs are fine - width is fine - everything was fine - up until it came to sliding the axle through!

The bandit bar is just completely different to the 1250FA. Wrong size / more components.

Looks like they simplified it between the models.
