I would have a project for my fz, I would change suspension, brakes and wheels to make it more drivable. I've seen some beautiful work, I would like to know which fork or circles of which bike you have used, and varying or with whom you have replaced the swingarm

Ive used honda cbr600 front legs, wheels and brakes but is a lot of work. Also fzr1000 rear swing and thunderace shock and linkage. Had to make some parts, and need to grind out the yolks but it was worth it.
Easier is probably to use fzr1000 1987 / 88 parts.
A problem of the 85-86 models fz750 are the weak linkage and shock

The 87/88 FZR1000 fork and swingarm setup is what I went with on my 85 FZ. The work was pretty straight forward and the parts were cheap. Also the end result was that the bike felt a million times better on the road. The upgrade from bias ply to radial ply tires is immense by itself, but the suspension is also much better as well. If you have any questions, you can look over my build thread, or PM me for specifics.
