Maybe your forks are early fj, do they have anti dive,, I've used r1 and. Xjr blue spots of different years,  no worries on fitment,  unless you have radial mount ones

Hello fjmonkey I have a 1989 fj; and over the week end I looked at blue dot caliper off of a first generation R1; and the bolt pattern was wider please give the the year that I should be looking for. Thanks gonzajr

The Blue Dot calipers I on my bike have 100MM bolt centers. What do yours measure?

Hello it is 82.5 mm 3 7/16"  center bolt to center bolt. and no a,b,s,. There is a adjustment valve mounted on the front of the shock
I read that is for capacity or weight. If I go with a Fazer 600, 1000, M/C and don't change calipers is that a nooo no. I may need a adapter.
Thanks // gonzajr

Gonzajr, if the forks look like this:



Then you have a strangely-marked machine that is not what most would consider an 89, though it may have been sold as one, or potentially a bike that has a different front end on it.  I'd suggest re-measuring the c-c spacing on those caliper bolts, unless I am mistaken the earlier ones were 88mm.  The valve that rides ahead and above the axle is the antidive unit, not to be confused with an ABS set of forks (which all had 100mm caliper spacing on the FJ).

Any external adjustments that the fork has will be at the top of them, near the ignition, rather than near the axle.

It's also possible that they're not FJ forks at all, and possibly not even originally yamaha forks, which opens a whole world of strange options.

If you can take a clear picture, that'd help significantly in identifying what you're working with.

Yep, the blue dots are a straight bolt-on to any FJ that came with 4-piston calipers. '89 thru '93.....
