Title: Free FJ
Post by: bjarvis on October 31, 2023, 04:46:20 PM
All Members,
I have a 1980;s something FJ1100.
It was completely disassembled a few years back and was going to be a restoration project.
Never happened  the motor did run when removed
the whole thing   including all parts and a service manual is available FREE !!!   to anyone who wants it
fairings are good, new seat   
I'm in south west Virginia and who ever want it can come and get it all
just hate to take it to the dump but am cleaning out the building that its stored in so its going to the dump if no one is interested
I'll wait awhile to hear from the members here but time is running out
Please email me if interested 
I will check back to this forum for a while just to see if there is any interest
would love to see it go to someone who can use it
Thanks
Bjarvis

Please don't get rid of it just yet, there are plenty of people around who will either need parts, or should like a project bike.

Give everyone a little more time to check in and see your post :good2:

I would snap it up in a minute if it was in Virginia city instead of West Virginia. A 4,800 mile round trip is a little to far to travel even to save an FJ1100 from the dump.

The bike is in South West Virginia not West Virginia.
Wish I could get it but not in the best of condition to do that just yet.

There is a lot of interest in the bike from people in the owners groups on Facebook (where I've alerted people to the opportunity). Most are asking where in SWVA (town/city).

Would you be happy for me to give them your email address and a location (not address)?

That little voice in my head reminds me that some of my most expensive project started out as "free!"

Now, where is this at -
