Hey everyone, just bought a 1990 FJ1200.  This is my second bike, first was a 2012 Ninja 250, so quite the difference but I love my new to me FJ.  Can't wait to get it tagged & titled so I can ride again.

New to FJ's here!

Just added a FJ1100 to the stable. I'm going to modernize it while retaining the original look. I need to find info on the R1 front end conversion and the GSXR1000 rear end conversion. Hoping to find build threads here and to add my build as well. If any of you are in the San Francisco area, let me know if you want to go riding! I love these roads out here and enjoy being on 2-wheels.

Hey All,

Thanks to your wealth of knowledge I resurrected an 89 fj1200 that had been sitting for 15years.  I’ve used the services of RPM a couple of times and I’m very happy with them.  The bike is stock with 49k kms on it so aprox 5 miles. Due to sitting in an open barn uncovered it was covered in green moss.  My daughter and I spent several nights scrubbing the dirt and touching up the rust.  Mechanically it runs good although it needs a clutch. She slips at high rpms. I’m really going to embrace the touring side of this bike.   I installed some ugly European pipes on it today with little modification. ( freebies ) There is a Corbin seat in the mail I’ll see eventually that has a removable back rest and then I’m going to look for  a 3piece luggage set.  She’s going to get painted pearl white, frame and wheels grey, motor black eventually.  Everything shiny will get polished. I have enjoyed lurking since May and I’ve learned a ton so again, Thank you

I have recently bought an 85 FJ1100. It has been sitting since 05 and is in very nice condition with 32000 KMs. on it. This is bike number 5 for me. I bought it to use as my touring bike. I have a 2016 Triumph Thruxton 900, a Suzi GS1100 which I got to use as my touer but will likely be replaced by this one. I am restoring a GT750 and have finished a 64 Honda Super Hawk.  I have been mainly restoring Kawasaki Triples but they are getting hard to find and extremely expensive.

I am having a proble getting the FJ going but will include that elsewhere. I am in Penetanguishene Ontario Canada.
Greetings to all.
Dave

Hi all, I bought my 88 Shiny Black 3Cv in 1990 with 20,000 K's on the clock. After a few years I gradually made a few mods - Givi Screen, upgraded fork springs, custom made carry rack, a 18inch FZR1000 rear wheel and more.

Love the bike, gave me near 20 yrs of great service with the only ever fail once (not starting) when the battery had run dry (oops). It went off the road in 2008 when I started (and near completed) my custom made fairing that you can see pictured.

The bike is about to hit the road once again, though paint yet to be completed in the finished colour (and decals).
