Title: Happy birthday to my '93
Post by: Bob on March 15, 2016, 07:56:49 AM
1996, on the Ides of March, McBride Cycle of Toronto delivered my 1993 FJ. 

It's been a good 20 years.

Then...

Lookin' good Bob, lots of nice mods. and those bags look excellent.  The upside down forks -- the shiny wheels - rear swing arm...nice stuff.  Some things get better with time and some things can be made better with time.

How are you liking those bars on long trips?  Better than just the bar risers on the stock grips??

That's a LSL conversion kit on top of a '93 GXSR front end. I bent a coat hanger into a handlebar to figure out which shape worked best for me. Feels nice and custom, and the older I get the better it fits  :smile: ... I'd recommend the LSL kit.
