    The wheel & the top tree look identical to mine but my wheel is 3 inch X 17. My front disc has the same 4/3 hole spacing but in the other direction if that makes any sense. My upper fork tubes measures 41 mm & my fender looks the same too. I dont know if the fork tubes are original or not

        Looks like the same front-end to me. Right down to the calipers et al.
        Those brakes are the same as series one GSXR.

        If the front wheel is not off the same bike then could be GS 500 made to fit....

        Rear has to be Gsxr, can't think of another bike that had that width.

          I believe the front wheel is an 89-97 Katana 600/750 17 x 3 curved spoke with the RF 900 front end and the rear is an 89 GSXR 750/1100 curved spoke 17 x 4.5. Thanks to everyone for your help. If you disagree please let me know

            Your entire front assembly is from a gsx600f (Katana here in the u.s.) This what an rf900 fork looks like.

                  You are definetly correct, thanks for letting me know. I feel like a dog thats been chasing his tail. Thats what happens when you buy someone elses project, but I wanted a Katana and I finally got one. What is that top tree then, the first picture is the tree is the same as mine , is that a stocker & the second picture the RF900, thats whats getting me confused here ? Am I looking at 2 different bikes or 2 different top trees ?

                    Which one of you has the left disc on the right side, and the right disc on the left side?
