I was helping a friend of mine. He's going to have back surgery. He was going to adjust the chain on a friend's Indian. The guy left the key. But he couldn't ride it to his garage. So he asked me to help.
Expecting a big bagger...
It's an FTR 1200.
I never knew they made such a thing. Awesome vtwin torque....
Now I'm obsessed with them.....
I'm trying not to buy one.
Not a bad looking bike. :good:
Admit it, you're doomed.
Yep It comes with Ohlins suspension. Forks and shock. It weighs 518lbs wet.I could easily get it down 27-28lbs.
Pipe and tune loose 22lbs. And get 104ftlbs of torque. :wacko2: :dash2:

Going to pick up FZR1000 up side down forks now..... :sarcastic:
Yep inverted all the way. 3 sets of 2008 gixxer 1000 forks on my fjs. Inverted gets the chick's. Just ask Pat.

There is an 86 FJ for sale near me. Exactly the same as mine and in a bit better shape.
My chief financial officer said no. :cray:
What you need is a '72 Harley 2-stroke golf cart. Like the one I need to sell. Needs an inverted fork conversion.
