if you tell us what year gsxr bottom yoke you have then we might be able to help.

That's the problem I have no idea
Bought all the stuff about a year ago
All I know is it fits 55mm forks for the bottom yoke

then you do have a problem as there are different offsets on the yokes for different years. i take it you never had a top yoke when you got the forks.

was the bottom yoke bought with the forks from the same person?

then i'm afraid without knowing what bottom yoke you have then its impossible to tell what top yoke to get unless there is a code number on the bottom somewhere.

pretty much all the gsxr bottom yokes are 54mm clamp size but as i said the problem is the offset and without knowing or measuring this then its a full set of yokes you need.

well that narrows it down a good bit as its either TL1000 or Busa (99-06). go news is they all have the same offset and pitch but have no idea what stem top size they are but i would guess all the same.

to do a stem swap will require you to find out if the curvy top nut fits on the stem thread of the original TL/Busa stem.

if i get time i might do a reverse parts lookup.

I'm sure it was bought as srad yokes
It's also had a bandit stem pressed in already

could well be srad as i have no reference for those. if you could find a part number on the underside of the bottom yoke it would help.

If you have the upper and lower AND the forks...surely you can simply tell whether this is all going to line up by sliding the forks onto the lower triple, and then putting the top clamp in place. You'll soon know if it's the same offset or not as the top yoke won't slide into place
