Just wondering, does anyone know if I could swap out the bearings from my 03 wheel and use the T509/595 bearings?

(edited) Unfortunately the wheels are different - the OD as well as ID is different & there is no compatible bearing that has the 97-01 ID with 02-04 OD
- didn't you have a 98-01 wheel at one time going into your project or did you already move it on?
Remember you machined your left leg though K - well at least the
fork left leg, otherwise they'd be calling you Eillean (I lean!) :-D - so the left spacer will be different as result of that.
But actually the way this spacer set works it doesn't really matter if you machined the left leg as the right spacer is what sets the wheel centre; then the combination of GSXR axle and inset spacing of the left spacer is what acommodates the left side. With my left spacer as-is there would be a small 2mm gap on yours between the leg & the outside sleeve of the spacer which merely fits over the 'fat' part of the axle and is cosmetic, not functional dimensionally.
As point of note, my first spacer I deliberately made 1mm short on the outside sleeve part as I intentionally did not want it tight between the fork & the wheel bearing, ensuring that the space is driven by the inner dimension and the axle - you couldn't really see that little gap unless you got down on hands & knees! But for my second iteration & final part I eliminated it only leaving a few thou of clearance.
