Forks look bent. www.ronayers.com for parts. You can also try ebay. Either way, that's going to be an expensive fix. Good thing it was free.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

If they will fit, I have a set of GS500 forks. Yes, I know the GS has single front disc- perhaps the sliders (uppers, whatever their proper name is) will fit the Katana lowers? that would perserve the dual disc."Stevie B" Boudreaux

tricky. GSXR and RI/R6 entire front ends should also fit. That header is hosed!
Check out the exhaust exchange list. Pre 98 options will fit 98+ bikes.
Are the studs OK? I can't imagine that the engine sustained no damage after having the header torn free like that.
