Looks great Paul. You have put a lot of work in on that bike. Getting time now for the Northern crew to start riding.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Special thanks to Scott for the great deal on the new tank, lowers and side panels!

Thanks Derek. I like the way it looks now so I think it will remain decal free  :i_am_so_happy:

Very nice, you did well. Too bad you can't just bolt on a set of Renntec bars, they will save a lot of grief if you ever go down. The full lowers are so rare. You love your FJ, I can see it very clearly....

Kind of a stealth look. People will say: "DAMN, what is that??" The reply will be: "I don't know, but it sure is purdy!"

 Very nice work. May I ask how you mounted those mirrors? I am doing an 84 and was pondering a fairing mounted mirror set up like yours.

I used one existing windshield mounting hole and drilled 1 new hole to mount each mirror. One thing to be careful of when drilling is the location of the speedometer mounting tab.
