Last post by Pat Conlon - Yesterday at 11:10:40 AMQuote from: Paul.1478 on Yesterday at 07:56:51 AMDoing the front and rear suspension was the one most noticeable difference on my FJ hands down.
In my opinion, stock suspension on every bike I ever owned (excluding the Ducati) are woefully inadequate.
Agree 100%
On our FJ's, the stock damper rod forks, springs and shock needs an upgrade.
Then...the narrow pig heavy 16" rims and biasply tires
Then....the front brakes....
Then....

Last post by dellis32 - Yesterday at 10:35:18 AMThanks Red, I appreciate your insight. I ended up making what I thought was a fair offer on the bike 86FJNJ linked above given it's unknowns, and that it had been listed for a while. (I saw it on FB last year) My offer was accepted, looking forward to my latest winter project!

Last post by Motofun - Yesterday at 06:15:16 AMthere are two options. I prefer to be completely above the turbulence so the Zero Gravity wind screen works for me on my '85.

Last post by T Legg - Yesterday at 05:50:54 AMI think Pat is right that you should try the taller screens. I have an 84 fj and an 86 fj . I find the fj1100 is more comfortable and does a better job of keeping the buffeting off my head.
I'm the opposite torso length though. I'm a little over six foot with 32 inch pant leg length .

Last post by Pat Conlon - November 16, 2025, 09:37:34 PMNo, the 84/85 windscreens are different from the 86/87 because the fairings are different.
You can cut down your windscreen or look for the aftermarket screens that have a +2 or +4 inch extension.

Last post by miatamarty - November 16, 2025, 09:21:27 PMI have a short torso.My friends say I'm a chest with legs. My84 FJ screen seems to direct the wind blast right at my head causing a huge amount of buffeting. I read somewhere that 86 and newer had lower windscreens to get around this problem. Can I retro fit a later screen to my 84? Or just trim my present screen?
