So how wide is the gsxr wheel?
care to elaborate on what exact bearings you used as well as what spacers?
also, can't exacly visualize what you are talking about here:
"mill some material off the katana brake arm to get the caliper to align with the rotor"
I know a lot of people would be interested in this swap if it was wider then the 98+ wheel (for looks)

Can Anyone help!! ( i have a question)
DO i have to change out the swing arm and do all types of metal work to change out the tail end of my 1994 Katana 600.....on craigslist here in Atlanta someone is selling a tail end from a 03 honda CBR ( http://atlanta.craigslist.org/mcy/528143186.html ) for $50 which is a great price IF i could use it at all. I don't really THINK i need to get as technical as changing out the swing arm to get what i want..and what i want is to trim away some fat. I've noticed that my kat's fairrings are designed to hide the suspension and a bunch of other stuff. I'm just wonder how i can go about trimming away some of that extra plastic to give the bike a more stream lined look...without buying or building a whole new bike lol. Basically im just trying to get the "know how" to do these kind of things myself.I like'em naked!!

Well a subframe isnt that difficult to construct, like above have said, measuring is a key into your swap. using the subframe from a cbr will cause you to bolt on the frame rather than weld it (cant weld alum to steel) but your going to have to make steel mounting points for the sbfm, fairly easy. still needing a welder. no the swing arm does not need to be swapped or modified to construct a sbfm, but making sure when building or bolting on a different sbfm that you make room for the swing arm to travel.
