Hey guys. i need to fix an alignment issue i found on my front end. i had the original fj triples machined to fit FZR1000 forks which are 43mm. now i found total alignment of the wheel to the forks is slightly off, and im not going to make spacers. i was thinking of just buying the FZR1000 triple, but was wondering if anyone knew any other triples that accpet a 43mm fork tube?

thanks,

XJR1200 and 1300.  I know 'cos i've got one.

G1 FZ1 and I think the FZ6 was also 43MM. And they also have the correct stem for the FJ

Andrew....that's a bummer mate.
I did my OEM triple and top clamps when I put the FZ1 forks in and I guess luckily for me have no alignment problems...... I guess you won't be using that machinist again!

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

They should be the same. The bearing jam nuts are the same as the FJ stem. So if you have one lined up grab it.
