    Hard tail frames arrived.

    The XJ600 is my donor bike

    However the frame builder has used a head stock suited to 1200 bandit.

    Does this mean I cannot use the forks and yokes from the XJ or can I get bearings that will suit

    TIA

    dont think anyone could answer your question regarding a 1200 bandit headstock,
    but,
    you could measure the headstock bearing recess, and measure the yoke stem ,with a digital caliper or micrometer, then see if you can find bearings to match, failing an exact match you may be able to have some spacer shims made up

    dotheton.com have charts and lists with all the stem sizes and headstocks that bearings will allow to fit together.

    And so does AllBalls.com and what bearings and races they have to adapt various front suspensions to other various frames.
