Purchased my first FJ today - an '89 in very good shape.  Except for the rear brake rotor!  It's badly warped, so I'm in search of a replacement.  Found one in very good condition from an '86.  Can anyone tell me if it will fit the '89?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.  I'm sure I'll have many more questions.  BYW, this bike replaces a 1988 BMW k75S that I had to sell to get my daughter a car for college.  Good Lord, what a difference in "zip"!  And the riding position is exactly what I want. Hope I don't get into trouble on it.

All year, rear brake rotor are the same size and mounting.

Cheers,

Welcome aboard Cyclenutk75!
Jesus, if you mean the K75 was zippier I am afraid. If not, then enjoy the Kookaloo! Ah, the sacrifices we make for our children.

Thanks, Arnie. That's a great help.  And Doug, the "zip" factor of the FJ is exponentially higher than the K75.
Sacrifice?  I swapped out a K75 for an FJ1200 and came out $1000 ahead!  Might rate as one of the best decisions I've ever made.  Haven't picked up the bike yet, but do have brake pads and repair manual ordered.  And the rotor will be ordered in the next hour.  Thanks again, fellers.

Yeah, I had a k75, "flying brick"  must say the FJ was at least as comfortable and muck more punch.  I would go so far as to say that the FJ was a better put together machine.  This was back in the day when even the sportier K75 was your basic pipe and slippers bike, down 20% or so on HP for the same displacement Japanese equivalent.  Plus mine had fueling issues until I ran it cross country, leading me to believe that it was not meant for the short distance stuff I typically do. Owning that bike taught me that that the Germans were not the best automotive engineers.  Net net, you traded up...
