hey sabre,
i am in the middle of doing a '91 FZR 3.5" wheel conversion using the '89 forks and RPM internals
i am having a centering issue with the wheel(maybe a mm)
i hope you can post some pics of your process and update the thread as you go- for the life of me, i cannot figure out the issue
thanks and good luck with the wheel mod

Eric, the wheel Sabre is using is an 88 FZR 3.5". It is identical to the FJ 17" wheel , but a half inch wider at the rim only. No fitment issues at all.

Fred may be slowing down now. I hear he has V-MAX fever.

If you like your front fender consider a fork brace. The OEM forks flex and causes cracks in the plastic, the tabs are the first to go.

Looks good dude...

Sabre093 · April 29, 2015, 10:06:52 PM

Yup i'm going to get one!

Sabre093 · May 01, 2015, 08:24:24 AM

Well it's not done yet got a few loose ends to tie up but i'm loving the look!

Sabre093 · May 01, 2015, 08:41:27 AM

Before i ripped the rear end apart i took it for a ride and all i can say is RPM fork internals and Race Tech Springs are the

....Oh so Sweet!

fj johnnie · May 01, 2015, 04:26:31 PM

Spend some of your unearned steel worker money and treat her to an rpm rear shock.
My baby is waiting for one to be built.
