Hello guys,i am a prowd owner of a FJ 1200 i just bought few months ago,i will upload pics of the bike,would love to see your bikes also
Welcome to the forum,
Here's a couple of pictures of my 1989 3CV, which has covered around 150,000 kms
Beautiful bike my friend,mine is the 3xw and has 97.000 km .....i will upload more photos later
Very nice FJ! Welcome! :hi:
Welcome! I like your custom mufflers, are they loud? Pat
hello Pat,yes extremely loud my friend,installed the exhausts few days ago,maybe the best sound i have ever heard on a motorcycle,they are dominator gp2 exhausts
another one
Here is mine pre R1 front end
Urx, are those the front turn signal lenses you got from me? If so, how are you liking them? The set I've had on my '89 are holding up well since I put them on, I think it was in 2019 or 2020.
Nice looking FJ :good2: i have been to Corfu and Rhodos on vacation about 30 yrs ago .They drive like crazy there i almost crashed a xl500 i rented because it had no front brake.

Hey George, do you plan on making more? If so, put me in for a set. Pat
Pat,
I have a few sets in clear and amber to fit the '89-90. I also have a set of '86-87 and a set '91-93 lenses to generate 3D models from so I can 3D print those lenses too. The things holding me back are that I'm trying to build a house in SC currently, my 3D printer is in storage in MI and I have not yet pulled the trigger on the 3D scanner I want to scan the parts with (see 2 previous reasons). So, there will be a delay for the other model years lenses availability.
The profile pic of my '89 (with '90 bodywork) shows the lenses installed. They seem to be holding up to the elements quite well.
George ok, I sure understand about the house construction, I just finished mine here in Arizona. I would love a set of clear lenses for my '89 if or when you get a chance. No hurry, I'll be around... cheers. Pat
Pat, I think I have a set ready for use in MI. I'll be there next month and will look for them.
George, that would be great! Thanks and let me know...cheers Pat

Yep they have remained attached and work just fine 8-) thank you for making....
I'm glad they are working out well for you. :good2:
Pat, look what I found!
Great! I'll take the clear lenses....Sending you a PM now...
I have a White '89 and those clear lenses will look soooo much better than those orange oem lenses.
Thanks George!

Hi George,
I am on the band wagon with Pat. I would like to get on the list for a clear set of 89/90 clear lenses.

Do you know what model bike your front brake calipers are off, they're not standard but can't really see any adapters to fit them at all. Most popular upgrade is Yamaha blue/silver/gold spot calipers.

Maybe the 6-piston calipers from the YZF 750 or FZR 1000. Those calipers have the same mounting bolt spacing etc as the blue/gold spots and the FJ's 4-piston calipers.

That's what I was gonna say. Look like what I had on my 93 yzf750r. Was very light touch. For a lot of stopping power. Of course that was coming from my 87 fzr1000 brakes to those. Was quite a while between those and the 2008 gsxr1000 brakes that I have on all my fjs now. That I think are great.
