Welcome to the Forum !
FJ1100 big bore, huh ? - Nice !
Post up some pics when you've got 'em.

Check recent previous posts on this issue of the wheel replacement - it's been done many times, with minimal mods, just a spacer or two, and a few tweeks, and you're there !
Enjoy !
If you want to check the part number differences beteen the bikes, go to www.mrcycles.com
You'll find all the part numbers and diagrams.
