I don't think it will work Fred, no link.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

You've got to really really want that front rim to pay for all of that....

Too bad those forks are damper rod POS and not cartridge forks.

Still looking.......

It doesn't have to be the 87/88 wheel anymore. Get a pair of 6203/15 bearings and have the inner spacer bushed down to a loose 15mm bore. Done deal.

May be damper rod - but I'd be willing to bet Randy could source a valve for them and include the FJ spec setup ....

Sure, For a cool $999 Traxion Dynamics has a cartridge kit that will fit the FZR, but why?

There are so many better options out there for modern forks.
