Re: sump swop
The sump will fit straight on but you will have to swop the oil sump filter over and there are small orings and spacers that you must put in, in the correct order. You may find that after everything is fitted that the pipe touches the fairing and melts it, suck it and see!

Re: sump swop
Hi Jim,
If you look in the bandit manual there are pics of the parts. You will clear the front as the motors are basically the same but like i said it will be close at the rear. The oil sump filter is longer on the gk73 and will need swoping and under this you will find a shaped copper washer and o'ring.
