rj4fj Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Looking to convert the FJ to more of a XSR 900 style. Can anyone tell me what my major issues would be in doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member betoney Posted May 11, 2017 Supporting Member Share Posted May 11, 2017 I cant imagine that you could do more than remove the wind screen and handguards. A lot of the parts between the FZ/FJ/XSR are not compatible cross-platform except maybe wheels frame and engine. I believe even the exhaust and sub frames are different between the models, not to mention seats, headlights, bodywork, instrument panel etc. Buying the XSR 900 would give you much less of a Frankenstein look than trying to modify pieces to fit where they weren't intended to. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crd Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm not one to discourage anyone from doing what they want with their vehicle. It may not be what I'm interested in my own fj, but I'd be pretty interested in seeing someone else's progress on such a crazy endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj4fj Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Good input here...I thought the bikes were more similar than they are...Thought I could strip down the FJ and build a XSR out of it. Maybe the FJ gets an exhaust and lives. Need to start saving for a naked bike! Thanks...RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
