Thanks to all for the information. Assembling, or rather disassembling the chosen parts from the 97 YZF600R  doner bike. Went this way cause the whole package front and rear was available, easy and inexpensive. Wheels are stripped and at powdercoat. Fork rebuild parts ordered. I chose the Pirelli Corsa lll in 120/70-17 and 180/55-17 for this project. Looks like the 600R fork is narrower than the FJ so tripples from 600R will have to be used.

OK, not sure I can answer all your questions, my bike started out as an FJ1100 with 16" front wheel.  I replaced the kit and kaboodle with a YZF 600 front end (97 if I remember).  17" wheel, forks and triple clamps.  I reused the '85 lock set/key and handle bars.  I have FJR master cylinders and levers for both clutch and brake along with blue spots.  It went together straight forward with the biggest issue being just how the handle bars mounted to the triples.
Motofun,
I don't suppose you can provide any more detail on how you handled the handlebar mounting or made it work? Would love to see some more detail.
Thanks,
