FZR1000 Front Wheel. Cant Get Brake Discs!

[Pat Conlon]

It must also be noted that if you have an 1100 you need 1200 fork lowers to enable the brake calipers to fit for larger disc......

Not necessarily....
You can use your 1984-87 FJ1100/1200 anti dive forks with the '88/89 FZR rim if you change the location of the brake calipers (to fit the 298mm rotors used on the FZR rim)

For the early FJ's it's a Win/win... now you end up with a proper 3.5" x 17" (lighter)  front rim *and* the superior Yamaha monoblock 4 piston calipers.

thanks. I have a 1988 FZR1000 genisis exup wheel. Trying to fit it to a 1996 FJ1200. The issue is fitting the wheel central between the forks securely. The FJ speedo drive is too deep and pushes the wheel over too far.

A previous comment noted the speedo drive part numbers are different which I comfirmed and ordered a FZR specific one today.
