do a search for axle diameters here.  I posted about a thousand bikes worth of axle diameters.

No. The axles changed in 2003. The 89-02 axles are the same.

That list of axle diameters will not help. The axle diameters are the same but they mount differently.

The 89-02 look like the GS axle...a long bolt and nut.

The 03+ look similar (solid not hollow) and mount like the TL/GSXR.
