right. bought a 'mint slingshot 750 front end (yokes, spindle and forks) forks were pitted so got another set, sent yokes off to my mate to have the stem swap to find out I need a spacer between yoke and stem so clearly not slingshot yoke i dont think...worried that the fork hole spacing will cause the spindle to not work n more spacers need to be made for the wheel etc so yer any info please help. heres a pic of the yoke (black one) next to a bandit yoke

Looks to me like a gixer 1000 K3/4 bottom yoke. Measure the distance between the fork top centers to narrow it down. K3/4's are 207mm whereas the slingshot USD's are 214mm.

I happen to have a 1000 K3 here and yes the yoke looks very similar.

Just measured up the top yoke fork centre to centre and it is 207mm so it's k3 1000...thanks guys! So if I'm using slingshot forks with gsxr1000 yokes what spindle etc should I use? For bandit with bandit wheel and discs brakes

For bandit with bandit wheel and discs brakes I've done the opposite. 1000K3 forks in slingy yokes with slingy wheel and that was a bit of work. You're going to be making a job and a half for yourself with a slingy forks in to gsxr 1000 yokes. Basically you're bringing in the forks 3.5mm each side. The slingshot wheel would need to have 3.5mm milled from the 2 disc mating surfaces to line up with the calipers. Or you can spend time trying to find a set of disc with less of a dish, but that's going to cost you money. The slingy axle would need 3.5mm taken off the shoulder so line up the wheel and 7mm cut from the end of the axle. You might get away with not modifying the mudguard but it may distort under the 7mm less spacing. Save yourself a headache and try and find a set of yokes from a water cooled gsxr 750, such as the 750WN and onwards as these are 214mm spacing 50mm top and 54mm bottom.

What bike is the front end going on by the way? I'm only assuming it's a bandit because of the bandit yoke you've compared the K3 yoke to. If bandit then use gsxr 750 WN right up to the last of the SRADs WW. Don't know about the lockstops on srads but spacing are 214mm 50 top and 54 bottom. If slingshot then 750 L and M yokes. Getting very hard to get these days.

Srad yokes same spacing etc as slingshot? Yeah, not sure about the offset though. May be a few mill less on SRADs. There's a few bikes with 214mm spacing, TL's, early Busa's, but some of them have slightly bigger forks (50-52mm top and 55-56mm bottom) and lockstops that are useless to a bandit headstock. 750 WN, WP, WR, WS will be the best match for slingshot 750 front ends to fit to bandits. All with working lockstops. SRAD 750 96-99 might do the job also but I'm not sure if the the bottom yoke is a 54 or a 55mm? Anyone confirm?

you should of bought my 11n front end complete ?? no headache less time off the road ??sorry for being i told you so ask and ask again........ smiley-shocked029 He'd still have to sort out the 1100N bottom yoke since it has a single middle lockstop which works the opposite way to the bandits 2 lockstops. Maybe use the 1100N front end with a bottom yoke from a gsxr 1100 water cooled.

Sounds like one of those sellers that throws all the spare rubbish from leftovers projects together and calls it a complete front end. And this practice seems to be getting worse. Noticing it on ebay alot more where sellers try to act 'all innocent' and don't know a whole lot about the stuff they're trying to shift, which is a load of bollocks. Always bring a verniers calipers and a steel foot ruler with you when going to look at a front end so you can size up forks etc I remember going to look at a 1127 USD front end. After a long drive it turned out to be a shagged set of 750 forks with Kwacker yokes, knackered calipers and a straight spoke (wrong) wheel with a big ding on the rim. Slightly pissed off would be an understatement. He had told me over the phone it was a perfect 1100 front end and was after a good sum for it too. Go back to this cowboy and tell him exactly what he sold you and what you should have got and get a refund. Put the refund in to the right front end.
