Cool, post some pics of the build up :grin: We like pictures.

Do you have any info on how to mount the brake caliper? Does the caliper bracket still fit on the spindle between the swingarm and the wheel?

Kayla, is the XJR brake rotor mount such that a custom lightweight rotor could be made to allow one to retain the FZR brake assembly? Got a friend who just picked up an US 88 FZR for racing and trying to find the easiest way to slide a 17 in there.

I don't think so, the XJR disc is 240mm and the hub is huge compared to the FZR hub so I think the FZR stuff would catch on the XJR hub. This is all from memory because I haven't got any Yam stuff left now :ban:
