Spikem,
Beautiful color! Welcome to our sandbox.
Welcome Spike, looking good.
Welcome. That's a nice looking bike. The pipe diameter looks small on that exhaust. Is that just the photo or is there something different in SA?
Welcome Spike!
Please tell us more about your rebuild and your bike.
I don't recall ever seeing a FJ done in metallic green with silver accents. I like it. My first model car I built when I was seven, I sprayed the body a metallic green with a silver (not gold) under base. I've always been partial to metallic green since.
Yea, as Moto mentioned, you muffler looks a bit restrictive.
Cheers.
Pat
thanks guys,,sorry i was a bit buzy this week,
i did put some air in the tyre after the photo.hahaha
the exhaust is small yes but she has 2 pipes on,left and right.
but i want to change the 2 for 1 only,this will be my next mod..
the reason why i went with green is because i love candy colours and like to be different from the rest..
about the build,i bought her in a fair condition with little accident damadge.the belly pan i had to build from scratch as i couldnt get 1 in south africa.the nose fairing i could repair with fibreglass.the screen is also hand made as i was charged about r2000 rands to import 1 to south africa.i will post some more pics after completion,there is some small mods i want to finish on her.
Welcome spike :hi:
