Today I was looking on eBay for part sometime you never have enough. I found a used water pump for a fj1100/1200
this could be a big help when stuck in traffic. To bad it does not include a rad and yes a water cooled fj engine.
took my 85 1100 out for a ride this weekend still going easy on the new engine only has 800km on it pulls very hard
I love it couldn't help a quick twist of the right hand 200km it was amazing and that last stainless steel Remus exhaust that I bough on eBay sounds beautiful nice and deep and still very shinny.

I also noticed that Delkevic_US has a 14" slip on's for 92-96 FJ1200's on eBay.
Watercooled FJ blocks are available, actually.
hi andby I also have 84 fj1100 that has very tired 1314 motor with a hold in the transmission would love to build it a little different then the norm
a water cool block sound interesting I looked on google saw some reference but no real info you said that thay are available do you know where.
thanks
Robert

There's an example of the breed. I wouldn't bother, you'll have to sort a bunch of plumbing as well as a radiator, though I suppose it'd be a bit quieter. Further the head would stay air cooled, so you'd have to retain good airflow there, really hindering the radiator placement.
Hay Andby Thanks for the info I still think the water pump had nothing to do with a fj1100 motorcycle. your very right the plumbing would drive you nuts.
my 85 fj had some over heating issues but the problems were typical cylinder 2/3 I have a set of jebs lower fairings on the bike and that does not help
the situation. $1300.00 for a block is a lot of cash makes sense for a legends car but not so much for a bike.I picked up a drag raced 84fj with a hole in the transmission
from where the chain use to be, not sure what I'm going to do with it but a 1300.00 block is probably not the place to start.
Thank for your help and its true we learn someting every day.
