Three weeks of ownership with the new to me 1995 FJ1200. The modifications have begun. Very minor ones to begin.
I traded a 1989/1990 windscreen that I wouldn't use much for a very dark MRA touring windscreen.
I didn't care for the looks of the Cobra F1r mufflers. The Yoshi slip-on's look much better to me.
I actually ordered the smoke turn signal lenses before I picked up the bike.
The Corbin seat came with my 1990, but the color of the piping did not match the color of paint I selected for the 1990. The piping color works well with the new bike.
The added auxiliary lights work very well.
Installed a new set of clutch fibers with the extra wide disc and removal of the piano wire.

Looking good Fred.
The hideously long rear European fender has to go.... :bad:

Send it to Noel, if he does not have one then it might be good to help manage the shmootz he picks up from the adventures he goes on.

Absolutely.....
BTW, are you planning on selling the Cobra mufflers?
Pat will make an offer on F1 Cobras...

The Cobra F1R's have already been spoken for. They are going to a good home that has plenty of aluminum polish.
Fred
:yahoo:
That is my point and case your honor.... Nothing more to add....

I will have to admit, the Yoshi's do not sound as good as the Cobra's. The F1R's sound awesome when on the power. :good2:
Fred
Yessiree, those Cobra's absolutely howl on a 1380....
Moparman Steve have Yoshi's and they sound really good as well. But my retirement fund depends on selling F1's to Pat... I have another set coming from a good source...
Mark, you have coming Cobra F1's or Corba F1R's?
I found out (the hard way) that my engine pops the rivets on the Cobra F1's aluminum cans.

Not sure till I make a Las Vegas run to get the goods. Might be a Gamble...

If I fitted that I could
only ride in the bush, for fear of being seen. :biggrin:

Glad to see the new FJ is progressing.
Still heartbroken over the loss of the "original"
