You may be okay on the axles, it depends on how hard you ride the bike. People have been trying them on lightweight race bikes for 40+ years and the fast guys always hated them. You might ponder using a lighter set of forks than the GSX-R ones, which are fairly heavy for a bike of that weight.

I used to have a ti front axle for a slightly older set of GSX-R forks but I peddled it to a Canadian that never rides his bikes (or finished them, for that matter. I guess the one thing leads to the other....)

I know all about tuning 2-strokes and I'd rather buy a motor than build one. It's always easier to build a motor that someone has had success with, than to figure it out for the first time. I've researched CR500 tuners. Most tune the motors for motocross use, so they are not suitable for my needs. If you run across a guy that's built one for roadracing, let me know.
