Fzr600 forks are 38mm diameter where as 3tj are 43mm. The 3tj RR non adjustable forks are Ok for the road, rebuild them with new springs and oil and you'll be fine. Replace the shock if you can

A 3HE front end is not really an upgrade..the suspension is infact poorer and less ridged than a 3TJ.
The only bonus is if they are post 1989 then blue spot calipers are a straight bolt on fit.

Research cartridge fork emulator valves as a means of a cheap effective upgrade c/w new uprated springs
Racetech are leaders in this field.
