Just passing these pics along I ran across... He/she incorporated some different ideas I thought would be appreciated. Not sure about closing off the side cooling scoops though.

Like it. Nicely done. After market seat, or reupholstered?

Reupholstered, you can find it on EBay.
Lots of attention to look-good details, but still wearing the stock wheels and anti-dive.

If God wanted FJ1200's to have FZR front end and rims, he would have made'm that way. :smile:

I disagree. :diablo:
If FZR (or GSXR/YZF, etc) wheels were not suppposed to fit a FJ, they'd be made of tungsten instead of aluminum. Good luck machining tungsten! :bomb:
Nice taillight integration, I'd never block off engine cooling scoops, but what the hell is he doing with the two lower front windshield bolts???
Is he hoping to spear somebody, or is it his inner Harley leaking out? :dash2:

That's why they quit painting them
RED :bomb:
Wonder what the front fender came off of?
Looks like the Bandit fender I put on my 92
Looks like a more modern Yamaha.
Which is to say ugly, but at least he's trying.
Personally i think this bike is one of the nicest Fj's ive ever seen,,,,but ive not seen many. :good2:
Sorry, I can't buy in on that. Nice paint, BUT ... 16" front, Anti dive, Stock single pot calipers, and then the air scoops engine cooker mod. It's a very decent paint job and a good look but it fails the functionality test, IMHO.
Or, as my mother used to say "Para personas diferentes hacen colores diferentes."

Have to say it is tastefully done, and I can't help but like how it looks.

Yea, fail on functionality and fail on execution.....the style is interesting
All that work and still rubber brake lines? :dash1:
What's with the curved front bottom on the windscreen? Look from the side, see the bulbous profile of the windscreen? It flat does not fit the bike. No amount of chrome gewgaws can disguise that fact. Chrome? What the fuck is that doing on a FJ....Should be polished aluminum. Chrome is for Harley's and Lowrider's.
On the fairing, why does the side graphics stop 4" from the front?
Why does the graphics on the tank not fit the contour line of the knee cutout? They're just stickers right?
Didn't he have a razor knife?
Interesting idea but poorly done.
