YZF 600 frontend on my 85

[JCainFJ]

You are going to like the way your FJ works with this mod! Are you going to up-grade the shock too? The YZF rear wheel will fit too!

I did the GSXR rear wheel swap with a Michelin 180 tire.It was nice and easy. I bought a Honda shock
thinking I might try it will waiting to see the RPM shock. Haven't decided.

Sanded and buffed the front fender and put it on tonight.
YZF600 front wheel, brakes, and fender. Galfer braided lines.

Looking great.

What grit sandpaper did you use? Did you repaint the fender or simply sand and buff?

I painted it with Dupont chromabase and clear. Sanded with 1200, then 2000, followed by buffing with 3m Finesse.

 Stupid question maybe but, by 98-0? yzf 600r you mean R6. Or are they two diff. bikes. At one time they made an R6 and a 600 sport touring thing no? I am looking into the same swap and wanna be sure before I pull zee trigger.

No, he meant YZF600r.  The R6 is different... with shorter 43mm forks.
