I am planning to purchase a 3en1 braced swingarm for my US FZR400 89.

Is this a direct bolt on or I would need spacers? anything else such as a FZR600 brake bracket??

thanks

Take a look at Yamaha_George web site. He has information there about doing this swap onto a 600 as well as the 3TJ swingarm. He also says that the swingarm pivot width is the same for all FZR400's and the 3HE FZR600. I think the problem is going to be the pivot bolt and the axle. The axle will be a non-issue if you use the matching wheel for the swingarm.
