Let's see if I can answer your questions...
1) the oem R1/R6 blue spots is what you want...no aftermarket...plug and play with the '89+ fork lowers.
2) the 1987/88 FZR1000 or FZR750 front rim is plug and play (with the '89+ fork lowers)
3) don't fuck around with your petcock...bad shit can happen...buy a new oem petcock from RPM. I suggest buying the less expensive '84/85 petcock without that stupid reserve function....plug and play with your '86 tank.

Did I catch everything?

In a rather snarkie fashion, yes... Thank you

Sorry Dave, that was not my intent....

3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.

Not a problem Pat. I see no reason in reinventing the wheel, when so much knowledge on the FJ is here on this site.
