John,

It appears you have caught the mod bug  ;D  , a very serious affliction known to many on this site.

you are in luck because the support group for this affliction resides here as well.

welcome to modifiers anonymous.

The next progression of your disease will be the uncontrollable urge to:

install race tech springs and emulators.
braided steel brake lines.
blue or gold pot calipers.
17" rear wheel
penske rear shock (with a spring for your weight and adj damping) a necessity for sumo types.

thats the short list. I don't wanna scare you.
Garth aka (Mr. Bean ) is a fine counselor to help you thru your process.
he also helped me thru mine.

Yes sir, Garth and Brian have saved me so much money, hassle and frustration...and all for hamburgers and hot dogs. Brian even loaned me his ignition switch from his 84 FJ so I could stay on the road. as far as I'm concerned for people that just only met you .....none finer.

That there is a fully adjustable YZF-750-R front end with R1 internals sprung and valved to suit the FJ and rider ,upgraded master cylinder, braided lines & 320mm rotors.
Motocross style handlebars on adapted  YZF-750-R top yoke and risers.
It handles superbly, the machine has an Ohlins on the rear, standard swingarm and 17" wheels with radial tyres.
That's  a 180 on the back and a 120 on the front.


Next mod is to get the rear wheel powdercoated black.
