Head Stock Dimensions

[froudy]

A quick favour please.
A guy on the Suzuki Bandit forum intends putting a GSX1400 complete front end on a Mk1 1200 Bandit and has asked for advice. I've checked bearing dimensions top and bottom and they are the same for both bikes. What I need to know please if someone could kindly take a measurement is dimension "A" in the photo in mm.

Many thank you's

I'd also have a look at the simple maintenance items before chasing bigger problems. Fresh plugs, a clean air filter, and checking for any loose vacuum hoses or connectors can make a surprising difference. Sometimes it's the little things that end up being the fix.
