    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

91 Katana 600 front end?

I can buy a 91 Katana front end for my cafe 1000 project.

How does this match up for length?

What about the steering stem?

I know someone had posted up a bunch of info, but I can't seem to find it

My goal is to have a modern front end (although I'd prefer something with standard handlebars) to match up with my aluminum swingarm with a larger back wheel for radial tires. Marzocchi Strada shocks for that period look.

I can get GS 500 and Katana wheels from this same guy.
 
Steering stem will probably not be an issue. If you have a 4 into 1 you will probably end up banging the pipe some on really big dips in the road and stuff like that. Check the length on it if you can from the center of the axle to the top of the tube and I can compare that to an '88 GSXR front end I have around here.
 
The Katana front fork assy on mine (with one inch added to the pre-load to get correct sag, I'm 225 dressed) is the same length as the stock fork assy was. Plenty of room for my header. Direct fit except for steering stops, and those were an easy fix.
