All - thx for your comments and look forward to meeting you on a ride.

Fred - I really like the color combo, plus I wanted an 89 for all the upgrades they did that year (17" rim, front brakes, firmer springs, new style fairing etc.)

Randy - will give you a call, I ordered a bunch of parts from you over the weekend. Like I said earlier the cosmetics are really good, but things like fork seals, master cylinders (clutch leaks) and brake seals/pads have seen better days, will try to do some myself as its therapeutic. Once therapy is done will probably have you guys do the other stuff.

Welcome to the group that is so much more than the sum of its parts. I was in your position 9 years ago - new to America and new to the Fj. Both concerns are going swimmingly to this very day.
Wait till the rain passes and we can go for a ride.

Dropped off the beast with Randy on Monday. Have decided to have him do the work instead of myself, I figured he knows these things inside out and I could see the bike still in pieces a year from now if I did it. Along with the repairs and deferred maintenance, have decided to get all the goodies (shock, exhaust etc.), the will have a real good rider. Randy has been great :)

Sweet! We gotta get rid of this rain soon.
