Just picked up this 84 FJ1100 the other day. Limped it home and began surveying the work to get it road ready. Upon some tear down i realized it was fitted with some mods already(mikuni rs36 carbs which need rebuilt, stretched swingarm extensions welded on, underbody lights which i immediately removed, lol. leaking valve cover...)
Some one did a pretty nice paint job on it at some point i think.
ordered new kenda retroactive tires in the stock sizes, the ones on it now are cracking and oversized making it feel horrible on the road.
I just joined this forum and saw the fix for the petcock valve, very nice to know that. Feel bad for the man who lost his home to that.
Welcome :drinks:
Nice find - I like the checkerboard stripes - like a twist on the Yamaha speedblock design typically seen.
Welcome! It's good to see another '84 FJ added to our mix. Pat
