Here is mine with a RF900 fork on it, i'm switching over to 1200 bandit legs with the RF tripple trees. They are the same size, the bandit tubes are about an inch longer.

Early ('89-'96) gsx600/750f (katana in USA) front ends are a great fit on these. Easier to find and usually cheaper. 41mm tubes and really great brakes.

Awesome guys thanks for the info im currently looking at these.
looks like im going to need some triple trees. This looks like the front end setup im going to use. probably going to pull the trigger some time this week unless I find something better.
Id prefer a gold color for the forks but hey beggars cant be choosers.
i'm gonna keep searching and see what I find
I will post pics when i'm done guys thank you for the help!

Guys update!
bikes still having the top end of the motor getting rebuilt but in the mean time I was looking at possible front end parts to buy.
I found a 2000 gsxr front end complete with breaks master cyclinders and front wheel!
hoping this will fit looking to get some more information before I go through with the purchase

An old thread and most of the members are gone but some of the info is still relevant.

It should be possible to make it fit, but you are going to find that the forks are very short compared to your GS forks and you will lose additional ground clearance with the 17" front wheel of the GSXR. Do you also have a 17" rear wheel and a swingarm that it will fit into?

The guy was also selling the rear I wasn't sure if it was going to work with the gs.
I hear that Bandit swing arms work well
what would you suggest?

This has been gone through a number of times. An 1100E swingarm will fit a 4.5" wheel and 160 tire with no issues. I think some guys have squeezed in a 5.5/180 combo but I'm not certain of that. Bandit swingarms work, oil cooled GSXR swingarms work, probably some of the watercooled arms are OK as well. All but the 1100E arm require machining to fit, making new bolts/spacers and other fabrication work. The 1100E arm may also need alteration depending on the details of your bike. None of the rear end stuff is anything like a bolt on setup, they all require effort and fabrication to work.
