Just a thank you to those that run and moderate this forum. Brilliant resource.
I picked up my '93 1200 this afternoon and all went well, everything works fine. £19 to fill her up and a steady tootle home. I went right round the island actually so 20 miles added.
I'm hoping she takes to living outdoors after being cosseted in a garage for years.
I'll be having a look for protective sprays on the forum. New front tyre going on this week £68 Bridgestone so pretty good price including shipping. Bulbs all checked and apart from some minor fettling she's in good shape.
Thanks again guys and happy riding.
I think your time might be better spent looking for a good quality cover. Protective spray is not going to save you from sun, moisture and bird$hit. A good cover will. My FJ lived outdoors & covered for 7 years (don't ask!) and no one would be the wiser!

What he said.
I agree with Ed. a good quality cover designed for motorcycles. Since you mentioned a spray, I found this stuff, spray on, peal off. Lots of colors including clear gloss. I have not tried it yet, might be a fun way to experiment with colors before you spray your FJ.
