Yes it will fit, you might need all the gixxer 1k stuff like wheel, brake, etc...

The 1k has a wider rim. You can use a 600 rim or 750 rim on a 1k swingarm as long as you use the spacers that go with the wheel. For example, you cannot use a 1k swingarm, 1k spacers, and a 600 rim. You would have to use the 1k swingarm, 600 wheel and 600 spacers.

I've used a 750 rim with all the 1000 stuff and it works but the swingarm just pulls in an extra half inch. Seemed to work fine though, didn't have any trouble with it.
