Dude, f%$k the kat front end.  Get some gold USD's off a Duc monster or newer gixxer.  That would work really well with your bike :thumb:

Alright, im a little unfamiliar with your guys lingo...Ducati USD...sounds interesting, forks or just brakes? i kinda like the looks of the Buell brake just one huge one...anyways...interesting non-the less...I feel like i need to upgrade the brakes...so any help would be great.

Not just duc, many brands use em.  complete front end.  upside down style forks.

Jay_wolf

Yep terrys correct ,

My stepdad had a 1100 GSXR with Duc Front end , Brembos allround , he had a custom yoke made for them

anything can be used, but i agree the gold would look awesome , i was thinking bout selling my kat front end and finding some gold USD , but i want to start another project soon

Pictures? Prices...difficulty and can i do it myself/ tutorial. Sorry so many questions...im greatly interested.

prices vary.  If your lucky you could probably do it for ~$400  or it could cost 1k +
patience is your friend when trying to find a front end and don't be afraid to buy it in pieces.
Difficulty..........moderate.  It requires a little bit of mechanical aptitude and shop skills or you could just take the stems and bottom triples to a shop to have them press the GS stem into the new triple.

SO what usd's can fit on the bike with little work to do? I mean i do not mind buying something that is relativly new...Why not a GSXR front end? Ducati sounds nice, but expensive. Anyways, thanks alot guys!

Mr Bob , has a GSXr Front end on his Track Bike , and i believe Dgyver has one on his Street Project

They happen to be extremely Skilled

Stem Pressing , i think is  your best bet.

with the Katana , its a really simple swop , hence why i did it ,

My bikes a 1996.  if i had a 07 , id of done a brand new swop ! :thumb:

Yeah, the newer GSXR front ends are USD and a few are gold.........They would probably be much cheaper than a Duc front end.......
with the gixxer front end, all you would need to do is bring both bottom triples and stems to a machine shop and have them fit the GS stem into the GSXR bottom triple.  they might have to shave it or they might have to make a shim and weld it, either way make sure it's straight.
past that it's all simple really, just putting it all together and putting your controls on the new bars.  
Might want to look at bar clearance though as the GSXR is a clip on setup...............hmmmm, maybe an FZ6 front end....................

Sounds interesting, something i may have to consider this winter.  GSXR front end sounds good...This opens up the possibilty of a carbon fiber front fender?  :icon_razz: Im assuming i will have to have the gsxr front rim on to? I plan to put the gsxr rear wheel on...Anyways, more information would greatly be appriciated...Are the Katana handle bars clip on...

Cheers

Yeah, i would look  more towards an  FZ........the bar styles are the same so you don't have to worry much about the bars clearing the fairing.......

Although i just found a GSXR front end complete with froks and brakes...off an 03" 50.00$ Anyways, would this be what i want? Or the forks are two short and will hit my fairings...or my tank...

Yep , but u just need 2 make sure the clip ons ., clear the tank or there be trouble .  i no frankie G has 89 clip ons , on his F model , so theyre might not be a problem , Dude , that would cost about 400 pounds over here .

Excellent...well now i am set...well hopefully, how can i find out if the clip ons will rub or hit the fairings? Has the length of the 89 forts differ from the 03? B/c if they don;t i will just go ahead and purchase this setup.

Thanx

\ does it seem like overkill? I like the idea but i mean progressive springs, ebc pads and rotor, ss line...would that not be enuff? Although im really liking the golden look.... on Pantablo's site he says Bob Boussard did a 01 gszr front end...with no problems...?
