Hello there. I know that I have commented on this before. I don´t  want new forks.
My FJ11 forks are fine. I have a set of ´´blue spots´´ at 100mm. My original fittings are, of course, 80mm.
I am looking for adaptors without the need to fabricate them myself.
You understand, I´m sure.
There´s a web site I have stumbled on, all about V-max´s. Now, on this site, the guy says he has adaptors that convert the original 2 pots ( V-Max) to 4 pots. Using blue spots as the replacements. They are very nice adaptors.
I cannot contact the guy. He´s always out.
Anyone technical out there who would know whether the original v-max 2 pots were the same set up as the FJ11??
It would not surprise me, but I need to be sure.
If so, I´ll buy a set of adaptors.
Fanks,
Best wishes,
Tony

If the guy making & selling these adaptors is always out.....
How do you know that he'll ship them to you once you order?
Some caution may prevent lots of anger later, just sayin

Start fabbin.

Or swap to the later forks.  Blue spots don't fit, you needed FZR400 calipers instead.  Personally I really don't like the idea of plates of unknown origin on my brakes, those are something I want to work first time, every time, with minimal fuss and worry.  Using adapters of any type seems kinda wrong really.
