I saw an FJ come up on ebay recently in Melbourne, Australia, and thought to have a quick look, and the closer I looked the less parts I could see that I could use, I figured it would not get any bidders,
I was wrong. It sold for around $150
There are bike restorers that most of us can stand next to happily, then there are those that must be closer to either an owner of a parts company like Wemoto, or they are close to God.
They are braver than me!

Anyone here this brave?
I don't think I see a single part on that bike that is useable. How does a bike get into that condition? :ireful:
I posted the ebay number for it when it was listed, seems it sat outside under a tarp for 2 years, looks more like it stayed outside for twenty, sat on $56 for ages, they must have a huge sonic parts cleaner, and a whole lot of autosol

OH come on now!
I see a right side scoop, a left front turn signal, and a chain guard........................oh, and a grab handle! :sarcastic:
That poor thing is never going to run again........
X-Ray. Nice photo's of your rear wheel conversion. Hope to do the same as I am about ready for a new rear tire next season.
It was easier than I thought to do the rear wheel change. Having just pulled the back wheel out a couple of days ago to get a new tyre put on, I did realise I had one too many washers on the brake caliper side. You only need 1 x 4mm thickness washer each side to keep the alignment in most cases. The new Dunlop 180/55/17 tyre just clears the chain.
