my second restore on it. I crashed it at the dragon last October. was still able to ride it 5 hours back to augusta. my dumb ass was on 13 year old Metzler's. I have sport demons on now.
I did put a tour windscreen on to replace the cracked speed screen. I put the old turn signals back on as a tribute to the 80's..
tank was totally repainted by Jim Perry customs as it had a crease dent from smacking the mountain.

Thanx to Randy/rpm for all the tech advice

Very Nice, are they original headers ?
How did you get them looking so good after all these years ?

Maverick,
Where did you get a tour windscreen for the FJ? Don't want another speed screen.
Pirelli Sport Demons are amazing, compared to my old Metzlers. Night and day!

they were like that when I got it. little bit of light corrosion near cylinders but overall intake and no dents!

ooooo. What's that rear shock you got there. I'm looking to replace mine and currently favor a YSS unit, but that doesn't look like one of those.
