Yes, the FZR400RR but you will never find them. Years ago I looked. Forget about finding it here in the USA, the only chance you have is over in the EU. The RR model was rare. The calipers on the standard FZR400 are different than the RR model.
I'm going by memory, but I recall seeing this over on Barry Edwards FJ site.

You better plan on the adapter plates (needed on the 84-88 forks) or a fork swap to the '89+ lowers (plus rotors and rim)

I second the above, I went and bought some FZR400 ones, little buggers will not fit!  I should have researched a bit more and searched for the FZR400RR ones.  I guess if I ever wanted to make up some adaptor plates....

If you want I could sell these ones really cheap!? :biggrin:  Just bolt them straight on!!
