Gawd, don't know why I put these mods off as long as I did!
Got a ride in before the snow fell, and couldn't believe the transformation in handling and braking!

Will post a write-up in the Files Section soon.
I have got a newly rebuilt 1340 motor and an Ohlins shock that would go real well with the mods you have already done. Going cheap
:empathy:

If you were closer to me, I'd take you up on that motor and shock. No problem. :good2:
Love it, wish I had thought of doing it that way, would have saved a lot of time and money.

Just another example of Yankee ingenuity. :good2:
Stay tuned, as there will be other awesome upgrades this coming winter, to turn the Mighty FJ into an even mightier beast.

CLEARLY no chix for you! (Your forks don't say "Upside Down")
At this rate, I expect to next see a plastic sheet on the underside labeled Original Belly Pan.
You should make a DIY video for the files.

It's those chrome horns....they really make the bike pop... JC Whitney?

Ole Reliable's image or form would
never be tarnished by inferior products made by J.C. Whitney! Those sir, are fine chrome snail horns of the highest quality. Harbor Freight!

Good eye! Yes, no chix for me. But, I may revisit the USD fork dilemma at a later date,
Plastic sheet, belly pan, hmm. I should consult with you before the design review.
The DIY vid, is duly noted.

Hmmm......tell me more about this motor and how cheap is cheap?

Its my tired old motor with "1340" written on the clutch cover with a permanent marker, and a standard saggy shock spray painted ohlins yellow. The perfect compliment to the mods already done to this bike
Sorry Harvy, Noel and Arnie, just my obscure sense of humour. Now I know how to make FJ nuts wet their pants - just mention "1340 going cheap"

I wondered when I first read your post, but saw through it. Exactly what I expected!
Pictures would have helped.
Steve
Certainly had me curious Stu.
Harvy
I am really enjoying this post, its got me thinking.... When I put my RPM shock on, I could swap the sock to my OEM shock and offer it up as good deal... :blush: Naw.... I can't do that to Randy... I need to keep the sock on my RPM shock if I respect the PRM product.... And I would never offer a shock so sacked out to anyone regardless if I liked them or not. Just having fun with this thread.... Keep it going...
