Hello everyone. Haven't been good at posting on here. Here goes.
With all the extra time on my hands (furloughed), I finally tackled a few mods on the FJ. Swapped out the front forks for a rebuilt set of non-anti dive off an '89 FJ, A 17" front wheel and blue dots. Did the YZF600R Thindercat 17" rear wheel swap too. New rubber of course front and rear. Went with Dunlop Roadsmart II's for now. Did a facelift on my Supertrapp slip on's. I'll post some pictures once I put it all back together. I have a near perfect upper fairing and front fender to go on and a few more details to sort out. I want to send a special thanks to Aviationfred and his friend Roger for their help, inputs and advice. Nice to have guys like that as a nearby neighbors.
Just one question on the YZF rear wheel swap - did you end up machining the sprocket carrier, or did you just turn the sprocket around to sit the shoulder on the inside ?

I purchased a new 40 tooth sprocket and simply flipped it over to take advantage of the recess and not have to cut the sprocket carrier.
:good2: made it a lot easier....I did the same :i_am_so_happy:
Yes absolutely
here's a shot of the rear wheel
here's the front
Still waiting for the new end caps for my Supertrapps.
All the fittings and the nuts/bolts etc look incredibly clean.....I'm in awe :good2:
Got a lot of time on my hand so I've been detailing every single nut and bolt I remove or replacing the ones that aren't up to par (look like new). This old girl deserves the attention and it's kept me from going nuts. :wacko1:
