No, they will not bolt straight on. Most people make an adapter
plate that mounts to the stock mounting points on the forks
then mount the new calipers to that.
There might be something in the wiki that explains it better.

To be honest you'd be better off finding the forks, discs, callipers from a later FZR600 3HE - you want the model with 298mm dia discs. The forks are 38mm dia (like yours) so should drop straight into your triple clamps. I'm guessing the front wheels are similar and the spindle size will match.
The callipers should be 4 pot with 100mm spacing for the mounting bolts, this is the same spacing as the R6 blue spot callipers, so you could fit these, probably better to use the master cylinder too.
