Videos would be great.

That's what I like about our FJ's...they are beautiful bikes.

100%, I couldn't agree more.
I think the FJ is a stunning bike and as I said to you earlier, despite the CBR's condition versus my FJ's, if I had to sell my bikes..the FJ would be the very last to go. It was my first, and I fully intend for it to be my last.
That said, shit would really have to go 'south' for me to sell any of my bikes... to sell a bike is to sell a dream, even though my FJ hasn't ran for more than ten years; owning it, knowing that someday I'd sort and just simply having it in my life it has enriched my existence :-)

Hi Guys
IS there a specific reason why we can't post vids? Sometimes it's a hell of a lot easier to explain a problem by showing rather it than try to explain and also demonstrate with a static image?
Thanks

Awesome bike!

Oh...right... This is how it's done...

Good on ya...

Totally forgot to post an update here.

I was able to pull the cover, apply RTV to those half moons, and rerun the gasket.

It's been about 130 miles and she's happy again!

Still gravity fed for now but still happy 

Thanks everyone for your help!
Found everything I need from RPM and Babbitts. So cool that companies are still stocking these old bike parts!!
Happy Holidays all!
