Title: Triple trees that take a 43mm fork?
Post by: candieandy on January 26, 2012, 09:57:04 AM
Hey guys. i need to fix an alignment issue i found on my front end. i had the original fj triples machined to fit FZR1000 forks which are 43mm. now i found total alignment of the wheel to the forks is slightly off, and im not going to make spacers. i was thinking of just buying the FZR1000 triple, but was wondering if anyone knew any other triples that accpet a 43mm fork tube?

thanks,

Andrew

G1 FZ1 and I think the FZ6 was also 43MM. And they also have the correct stem for the FJ

Andrew....that's a bummer mate.
I did my OEM triple and top clamps when I put the FZ1 forks in and I guess luckily for me have no alignment problems...... I guess you won't be using that machinist again!

They should be the same. The bearing jam nuts are the same as the FJ stem. So if you have one lined up grab it.
