Been commuting alot on the FJ and loving every minute (even in the pissing rain) I just missed out on a upside down front end for an EXUP so when I saw this wheel I went for it.Its a 3.5 inch wide FZR with cut down Fazer discs so you can still fit the original brakes.It'll do for now as the forks and brakes dont give me any problems on the run to work.Need to paint the rear wheel black sometime but I'm too busy riding the thing. Rear tyre is a Metz Z6 roadtech and its done 8000km and looks barely worn.Grip is good for a slowpoke like me.

if you wanted to avoid cutting your rotors you could make a bracket something like this



When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I might go for some 4pot brakes if I feel the need.Or fit full size discs and make a bracket.I've got the same on my zed.What springs are you using in your forks? And if you plug up the anti-dive and leave the units on the forks is that all you have to do.
