I found this at http://www.triumphrat.net/speed-triple-forum/42588-k6-gsxr-fork-retrofit-complete.html
Hopefully it is of some help to you.

2006 (K6) GSXR-1000 fork set installed on '98 T509 Speed Triple.

GSXR parts purchased were
K6 Forks & bottom Yoke/stem
K6 Radial Master Cylinder
K6 Radial Brake Calipers
K6 OEM GSXR Front Fender
K6 OEM GSXR Front Axle

All custom parts were 3D CAD designed by me & fabricated by a friend in his CNC shop.
Custom CNC parts are the
Axle Spacers
Caliper Spacers
Steering StopLock
Top Triple Clamp.

Also required new Steering Stem bearing set
Get the bearings from Kevin Kraft @ All Balls Racing:
Their part numbers are:
CR0643 (custom top bearing) is 99-3521/33-1005 (bearing and Seal). Cost is $18.01 for both
2006 GSXR bottom taper roller bearing is 99-3519/33-1003 (30-55-17 mm) Cost is $15.99 for both.

The Custom Length Brake Lines are Galfer from CycleBrakes

Mounted up the new Top Triple today & pleased to say all fits & works as expected. Also able to test out my custom digital speedo conversion on the road finally & it seems to be doing the job - may need a minor calibration but pretty close for now (within ~ 10% as measured by an urban radar speed indicator).

Some installation notes:
The rotors were not centered in the calipers which measured at 132mm on centre - the rotors measured only 129mm on center so additionally required 1.5mm shim between each wheel hub & rotor to centre them in the calipers.
The axle spacers centred the wheel perfectly between the calipers with the right spacer setting the primary offset spacing from right fork; the left spacer/sleeve then takes up the remaining space on left side with the OEM GSXR axle which slips partially inside that one.
Note that I eliminated the mechanical speedo drive on my conversion so the right spacer is a plain bush effectively.
I modified & installed an Autometer Procycle gauge details of which are catalogued in
Procycle Digital Speedometer Retrofit
