Its a Harris frame right.
In the old days we (OK we meaning the air oil GSXR brethren) used to get spondon or harris frames and those frames were made for specific GSXR motors and specific swingarms or they supplied the SA's as well. Then we put the bike together with what ever else we found.
Now a days, the stock frames are so good, I thought harris is making grips and stickers ... and his frames are collecting dust.
I believe you can send them your frame number and they will cut it in the neck for you. Or send a custom make number with certificate of origin, or just send one with nothing at all, and you cut your vin on it and call it a GSXR. Maybe one of those was skipped in this ?
Cool.

One of the world first stunters was a guy in the UK called Gary Rothwell who ran a spondon framed GSXR 750. There was also a dude called Nick somehting or other, who ran air oil 1127 in a spondon/harris type monster. That was the early 90's. If I remember the names and the bikes ...
Then the GSXR 750 of 96 came out and every squid on every street corner turned into a stunter.
The air oil GSXR's that had frames from spondon, harris were meant to be run. They were way better than the stock frames really.
Cool.
