Re: GSX600F katana forks
WOW, I have to say WOW, these fork are great compared to the stock ones! They give me so much feedback on road surface. The bike doesn't feel like a boat on waves anymore. I have them set as soft as they can be and the bike feels great on the road, but if I tune the forks to be fully hard, I think that I would lose some teeth while riding, that how stiff it is. I haven't tried to ride on a track after i have done the mod, but i think that this would be a great low budget upgrade for a track bike ( i have put 10w grade oil in the forks as the suzuki manual sais). Great overall upgrade. The only drawback is that you have to weld or make some caliper brackets/adaptors for the stock fzr calipers so you can use them instead of the suzuki ones as they are lame.

T_G,
Great stuff I am glad this mod worked out for you,
I f the young lady in your avatar decides to ride your bike I think it would be most entertaining if you set the forks to their hardest setting (I am sure her suspension can cope )
