The easiest way is to use a XJR400 wheel ... I think.
After that your best bet is a TRX swingarm and wheel, but it needs modding.

Really though the eaiset thing is to get some decent tyres for what you have already.

Hi All,
So I need to fit tyres to my 3TJ but 120/60 is a no go here in Thailand. I either import one or use a 120/70. Any more owners tried both and what is the difference in ride.
Cheers
Blair

Hi Blair
Hope your well
I use 120/70 supercorsa, they're fine probably handle a little quicker but really I cant tell.

Actually I berate myself for not going, but once I get the Yamaha on the road I won't have an excuse. The other issue is that I can't stand Marquez and paying money to see him win would ruin the whole thing for me. I am in the North-East and Buriram is not that far away so give us a call if you do. I am going to get some Pirelli Angel GT2's and if the front tyre ever wears out I will import a 120/60 just to compare them.
