forks from a gs500f will fit without modification.  but ones from a katana is about as simple a swap as you can get.

with no modification.....GS

kat swap has been beat to death
either send fork tripples to the srinath for mods to length and gauge mount
or swap GS stem into the kat tripples
make mount brackets
or add spacers to stock tripples to get kat tripples to fit
make mount brackets

Or wait a few days until I list in FS a nice set of Kat triples with a GS stem swapped in....and a whole bunch more kat FE stuff including the nicest Kat forks ever...
