XJ 600 has been along for a long time, they seem to have started off with RD style rims and forks. I suppose you all recognize it. 
The swinger differs a tad from RD, I think they used to have stereo shocks. Not sure though.
They are 220 mm where the wheel goes in though! I read that yesterday in a forum.
ANYWAY! Later they launched an XJ with 3-spoke rims and other upgrades such as front brake caliper and fork design. Will these 3-spokes fit an RD 350 YPVS you think?
Obviously it only has one disc which is a shame, but hey, it still looks better then the butt-ugly YPVS rims don't you think.
These bikes are pretty common where I live and it would be great to get hold of a set of these rims.
They're not wide as f**k, 3,60 inch at the rear if I see correct on the pic below, so you may not have to offset the front sprocket or even change the swinger to squeeze the bugger in.
Well, if my wishes are correct that is lol, I have no idea if these parts will fit(ish) a YPVS 350.
Here's a huge pic:

Unfortunately the rear rim is 18", but personally I can live with it. I don't eat tires like a racer so I don't have to go through the tire changing grief very often.
What does it say on the rim, 3,60 wide? It sounds pretty reasonable by the look of it.
Notice the rear brake caliper, same as RD? Is that the same disc as FZR, old R1's etc used to have?
If so, they may work fine, the worst case scenario would be that the disc may be too thick for an RD caliper, but there's always solutions to these problems.
Here's a few other pics. It ain't no beefy rims but they look reasonable eyy, not too wide and not too damn skinny.
What y'all think?
