Title: Howdy from Charlotte, NC U.S.A.
Post by: bmart on March 13, 2009, 09:37:57 AM
Hello all,

I'm guessing I know many of you from the FJ mailing list, which I actively participate on (much to some people's dismay :) ).

My 1993 ABS model is my third FJ. I have owned an 86 and a 90. The current steed has 48k on the clocks and I love it! Mods include Givi rack, top box, Genmar risers, Fox shock, stiffer straight rate 1.05 springs w/15wt oil, headlight relay kit w/ 100/80 bulb, Rentec case guards, a 2" raised seat, K&N filter, and a Givi screen. I run the Dunlop 220/205 combo and love it.

Be safe, all.

I'm trying! I also booked a hotel room for the rally. It has two queen beds in case I can talk him into coming!

I think we need an OZ/NZ FJ rally. Any chance I can get a hold of an SZR660 for it? :)

It is a Yamaha big single; one which I have always wanted but they never brought it to the states.
