Two Questions - Re: 1988 FZR400

About your initial shock questions: If you've got the 3en1, then I think you'll have the braced swingarm, in which case the R6 shock will foul on the swingarm. You would need to change the swing arm for a 3en2 non braced version, then you should be able to fit an 07 r6 shock. You may still need some spacers making up though, but it shouldn't be a big job. The 3en2 / 3en1 swing arms are straight swaps.

If your not going to fit your r6 shock, I'd be interested in buying it off you, as I'm considering a similar thing myself.

Most master cyliders with a separate reservior will fit cos they're mainly 22mm bars.
I've put a Brembo radial master on my TJ it works well but the lever just touches the clocks on full lock ... I'll need a sympathetic mot station

Thanks for that, spotted one from the US I might get actually...

Not sure you'd want this R6 shock actually, it's a 2001 model, although in good condition it might not suit your needs... I might have to figure out geometry and what mountings would need machining to fit it up if I were to use this one.

I have 3en2 swing arm for grabs if you wish to do the r6 conversion...

Thanks for the offer, do you know if the 3en2 swing arm takes the 3TJ wider wheel? - as I've got a couple of en2 arms, I just figured I need the 3TJ one to put the wider 3TJ wheel in

i had a 160/60/18 in my 3en2, gone back the the 150 now

[uniquefzrfreak]

Trev, was the 160/18" a 3TJ wheel? - just need to know what I should be looking for to drop in... basically if am I understanding things right, I can get a 3TJ rear wheel and it will just slot straight in? - Don't suppose you still have the 160/18" Trev? if so, please could I have a price... then I can pay you for that and the mythical fuel pump that I haven't sent you any quids for yet. :)

[Fzr400Trev]

forgot about the pump it's still in the shed lol
the 160 i had on was on my normal 3en2 rim
still got it (i think) could get bigger in but migh rub as there was a little room left on both sides with the 160 in
the 150 feels betters on courners (might just be me)

[uniquefzrfreak]

What's the 18" wheel from Trev? - how much do you want for it... do you have all the bits I need to drop it straight in? - Thanks.

[Fzr400Trev]

the tyre i bought brand new think it's a dunlop from dexel tyre company and it was £82.99
the rim is a standard 3en2
i have not got a clue if the 3en2 is the same as the 3en2 fitting
what size tyre you got and how new is it just cluld do you a swap if it's a 150/60/18
