okay so unless some one is selling cheap ass rims ill just put stock size tires on (for this season)
what springs/oil weight would be good (im about 180lbs and some times ride with my girl friend)
ill do brake lines and and pads if i cant find decent priced calipers
what about changing both my m/c the clutch is leaking and the brake mc felles like is crap.
and ill through in an f4i shock

a bit off topic but is street fighering my fj considered bad and also im going to be changing the exhaust and air box if anyone is interested buying them cheap and ill probably have more stock parts for sale cheap as i rip in to her and find things i dont like

Budgets suck.   

I have a 17x3" front (I think... I'm in SoCal right now and can't look at it until I get home on Tuesday)

You can have it for shipping cost if you want it.

Yea where are located so I can calculate shipping

I'd probably put .90 kg/mm fork springs in with 10wt fork oil.  If you want it a bit stiffer, use 15wt fork oil.
Make sure you set the preload for proper sag.

ill do brake lines and and pads if i cant find decent priced calipers

You can usually find a complete set of R1 or R6 calipers, lines and master on Ebay pretty cheap.  These would still have little use OEM pads installed

what about changing both my m/c the clutch is leaking and the brake mc felles like is crap.

Yeah, what about it? :-)  You don't want leaks. Make sure you get  a brake m/c that "felles" good.

and ill through in an f4i shock

Be aware that this is not a plug and play change.

Shipping would be from 46163, or maybe someone can drag it back up that way when he's down here for SX in a few weeks.

okay so it will be around 40 bucks its going to get shipped to 04009
im not sure the size and weight but i did 20in x20 in x 5in for size and 35 lbs so that should be a bit high i think

I was in SF (Redwood Shores actually) last week for 5 days and will be again early next month -not that that is all that relevant. Just throwing it out there...

R1/R6 calipers are the same..... also the Warrior cruiser, FZ1, YZF600, and several more. All use the same monobloc calipers. Just don't get the radial calipers, they bolt on differently.

Well, I could do that, except that he doesn't appear to be a member here anymore, and I seem to have lost his contact info.     

[weymouth399]

Get the highest tensile X or O ring 530 chain you can find (most folk seem to go for DID brand, but there are others up to the task - I use EK, RK is another that comes to mind).
Also, I generally make a point of changing to new sprockets when I renew chain, but I guess it depends on the depth of your pocket and the state of your existing sprockets.

Cheers

Any good quality chain should work, brand is more personal preference than anything.  It's not a place to go cheap, unfortunately.  EK ZZZ is unbeatably strong and is my choice.  Because the chains aren't cheap, I too do sprockets at the same time unless they're very new.

[keand3]

How often should the chain be changed?
My sprockets needs replacement so investing in quality products is what i prefer, have seen alot of different brands to different prices. Being a newbee its not that easy to differ the quality from the junk sometimes.

thank you yes i am doing sprockets and going with the 18/39 to save a little gas
