Title: Mostly done,,,,, for now.
Post by: bugboy on March 16, 2012, 10:38:21 PM
I'm mostly done with the maintenance items, mods, etc on my '87 for now.  I'm just waiting on Randy's fork fix.  I put on the Conti Motion tires yesterday and the steering is much lighter and the bike is more "flickable".
I put the lower fairing back on and I think it looks pretty good.  I think I'll leave it with no markings for now.  Kind of a "Men in Black" feel to it.

i like the stealth look... it should cut down on the amount of tickets you recieve  :biggrin:

bad point is that idiot cagers will think you're just another bump in the blacktop.

be safe brother!

I likey!

Now would also be a good time to "smooth" out the air scoops too...

I still like THAT... the most bad-ass lookin' FJ I've ever seen, IMO.      :good2:

It just looks right, to me.

Thanks Randy - she has her share of dings and scratches for sure!  Looks a bit rougher in real life - some from me, some from the dragstrip, some from being stolen... 

I normally don't like the full fairing look on FJs (or much else!) - I even prefer deleting the belly pan - but the full fairing on the satin black has the stealth bomber look to it!  I think Kurt may be the only guy I know of to scuff such a good paint job to begin with and still spraybomb a better look in the end!
