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.1980 GS1000G - Sold

1980 GS550E - Fixed & given to a friend

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

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 ?
