Title: Scottish FJ Owner
Post by: hobbitrodh on August 07, 2015, 02:53:01 PM
Hi there, My name is Rodh and I come from Rothes, Morayshire in Scotland. I have owned my FJ for almost 2 years now. So far I have gone down the FZR wheel swap route, but with a JMC swinging arm. The difference in handling is amazing.

Welcome to the forum  :hi:

I would love to get my hands on a JMC swingarm.

G'day Rodh, by Bro in Perth (the Australian Perth) has an older JMC swingarm. Amazing bit of kit, but was a bit tricky to fit to an 1100.
Welcome to the forum  :hi:.

Welcome Rodh, snap some pictures when you get a chance. We would love to see them.

Cheers laddie!   Pat

Hi and welcome!

Will pass by your area on a Business trip in a fortnight, heading to Kirkwall and back to Skye later on (buying a cask or two...). Visited Rothes once or twice too.

Cheers Jo

As requested, here are two images of my FJ, one before (ante) and one after (post) partial modification. I have decided to replace the rear shock with one from a '05 Honda F4i, as I don't have the capital to lash out on an RPM one - much though I'd like one. But there again, I'm no Valentino Rossi.
