If your GS is the one with the taper bearing and not the roller bearing type,(Head stock) you can use any of the gsxr (oilcooled) front ends just need to sort out lock stops the later the gsxr they went from worm drive speedo the electronic speedo.
As to the rear, best using a 4.5" gsxr rear wheel or bandit 600.

They ran off the front sprocket with the pickup on the sprocket cover, can be done but a hell of lot of work as you would need to adapt your sprocket cover for the gsxr pickup and then sort out how to attach the tab to the front sprocket as the standard one has the output shaft taped and then the tab is bolted up.
Plus you would need to sort the wiring out.

The easiest way is to use one of the aftermarket gauges that runs off a magnetic pickup on the front wheel. BTW, some punctuation and capitalization would make it a lot easier to read your posts. You aren't texting your buddies in the bar on Friday night, people here are from all over the world and using proper grammar makes communicating much simpler.
