Just a guess but yzf750 swingarm and wheel, not sure about fitment.

Anything can be made to fit anywhere, if you have enough money or a big enough hammer.

Boy does that sound a little creepy.

Good eye Chris, I think you are right

IIRC the trouble with that type of swing arm, on compression, the brace fouls with the FJ's subframe.

Hey Pat, mind me asking, how did you route your rear brake line? I have managed to fit the FZ swing arm in my Fj1100 but have concerns about running the line along the top of the arm, then to the caliper as you said it had a tendency to loosen up that way?

Thank,
Tony

True, I knew a bloke who "made" a Valiant wheel fit a Holden stud pattern with the use of a hammer, it was going on no matter what.

Hey Tony, my rear brake caliper is a R-1 blue spot so it might have a different location on the banjo fitting, thus a different line route, than what you have...



The secret is not so much the route of the brake line ('thou it does help) but the type of banjo fitting at the master cylinder.
When I used the traditional straight banjo fitting (at the m/c) I found that the line would work loose.
The up and down motion on the ss line transferred to the banjo fitting and thus the banjo wanted to rotate around the bolt eventually losing the seal at the crush washers.
When I used a 90* banjo fitting, the stress of the movement was taken off the fitting and crush washers.


Unfortunately you can not see the 90* banjo fitting in the top picture...but it's there.
