Bought my bike as a project, that's how I found this wonderful forum. I have an 85 FJ1100. I've had the bike for about a year and a half, finally getting around to getting it back together. Want to say that I found a lot of information on here as a lurker, but figured I would join and say hello and thank you
Welcome K, or gip. What would you like us to call you? (keep it family friendly)
Happy you could join in the other part of FJ fun. The crazy digital campfire....
Either is fine. Kevin is where the K comes from.
A little about me... Guess I am now kind of middle aged, 42. Work as a laborer. Like pretty much everything that has an engine. More on the bike... I bought in non running, partially disassembled shape. Seller said didn't have spark. I tinkered, got spark. Would fire and spit and sputter, carbs... Got lucky, set of carbs off eBay and ol girl runs decent. Everything seems to work, other than the turn signals. Have swapped out both front brake master, and the clutch master.
Welcome Kevin! :good:
Welcome aboard, Kevin. Take a moment and add a signature line with info about your bike for future posts so you don't have to explain every time. Also add your location to your User info. Glad you registered, this place is amazing for these old bikes.

Welcome Kevin. What Rick meant to say is this place is amazing for these old farts on here with a wealth of knowledge about these bikes. Not that I am old or knowledgeable. :scratch_one-s_head:

Welcome Kevin, and congrats on getting an '85...as we all know (but few will admit) the first gen FJ's were the true sport bikes! :biggrin:
Welcome to the forum :hi: good to see another Midwestern owner :yahoo:
Take a moment and look on the FJ locator to find other owners near you and pin yourself.

Fred, he beat you to it. I approved his pin on Friday. One more member to add to my visit list when I get to that part of the world to visit family.
