Good day all. I acquired my 89 FJ recently from my brother who decided to lighten his load. He's readying to get the hell out of California and who am I to disappoint him by saying no thanks? Last in line 4 I owned was a very cool Honda Nighthawk S before this FJ with several twins in-between. I have great mountain roads not far from me  and year round riding too so I plan a lot of fall and winter riding. It's been way too hot to ride this summer but it seems to be behind us here now. Bike is mostly stock but won't be long as various mods in order. Anyways looming to gain some ideas and knowledge along the way.

Welcome Rich :hi:
You will find the FJ to be a bit more powerful than those twins and Nighthawk.
We have lots of tips for you on how to improve your FJ's handling.
You're lucky, just a short ride up the 99 is Oakdale where RPM's shop resides...lots of magic happens there.

Cheers

Call Robert or Randy, Will is a lazy free loader.  :wacko2:

The shop is open to customers so you can save on shipping.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

No rally this year Fred. We will be racing that weekend. You are all more than welcome to shoot up to Sonoma for the races and catch some wine country roads. Rick, Ramos, and Oort are familiar with the areas.

Rick is racing there too... Look for the checkered easy up with the dark blue 911 #5 under it.
