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.
No such thing as a GSXR650, you must have meant 600. About the only thing you need to watch for is the type of bearings, even then they can generally be swapped out. Look for tapered bearings on the triples. 1100 forks are longer which is why they get recommended. Just make sure te wheel and brakes come from the correct range of years. Up to '95 you can mix and match forks and wheels. Then there is another range of stuff from models called SRAD that can be used together. Beyond that range pretty much everything can be mixed and matched.
You shouldn't have to swap bearings if you stay '95 or newer. Most bearing shops wil have them if you just want new bearings. They will just bolt up but you'll probably need to do something about steering stops to keep the forks of the fuel tank. You'll have to do something about headlight brackets too.
