Welcome to KR! you'll love it here, lots of people always willing to help. One thing you can do to make them like you more is to use the "SEARCH" button. most of the NEW Members Questions are the ones that have been disscussed a million times (ok, maybe just a few hundred) So try that and if you dont get the answers your looking for, the Post you questions in the correct forum section and you'll get the answer in no time.

Now, about your question........

A 93 (88-97 to be exact) Kat's body style will look like mine (click the link on my sig or check my ride profile) only difference is the 600 has a more modern looking tail light than a 750 (750's have a bigger tail)

600 ->

750 ->

and about the rear wheels. here it is:

The 98+ is a direct bolt in and requires ONLY the wheel and rotor. You use your pre98 cush/sprocket and spacers. No brake arm mod required and a 160 fits with room left over. Not much but it fits.

I don't know about the bandit wheel because I've not messed with it but if you say it is only 4" then there is no need to do anything with the brake arm. The only way you will need to modify the brake arm is if you go wider than 4.5" (GSXR and 98+ are both 4.5" and require no brake arm mods).
