hi, just purchased a 90 fj, it wont arrive for another week or so,cant wait, im 47 years old and got this bike to be the one to see out my days of bike riding.
had the choice of an xjr1300 or a gsx1400 but went with the fj, theres just something about them ,paid a lot for it but very low milage and looks nice.
hope to learn a heap from here in the future, regards ken

Welcome Ken... Even though I dont ride a FJ (I have the faster little brother - the FJR :lol:) they let me join cause I went to the FJ Rally & kept them amused. They are very tolerant of us younger "kids"
Two things........... Watch out for Baldy !!! . He insists on being called "Lord Baldy" (which should tell you something) AND he also rides an FJR too :yahoo:
Yes, keep an eye out for the Finger Freeze ride. It's being organised (as usual) thru the FJR Forum but we welcome our "kissing cousins" to join us. Well in fact, anyone can come along, not really particular what they ride. The organisation of the meet is very casual
Hi Ken
Welcome aboard
Did someone say ride :yahoo:
Lets do it
Darran
:lol: cockroaches......lol like 5 tackle kicks a real game anyway.... bring on the union.... :good2: :biggrin: :blum1: chuckles.... and went out to crows nest again but took the back? way round past lake prospourous or something... awsome twisties out there... hurry up ken i can sense a weekend squirt coming on...... and i promise not to wash the old 1tx so it WONT RAIN!!!!!

Yes pretty rare Ken and quite expensive......they do come up on eBay occasionally. There is also a place in Europe (France from memory) that also make them in fibreglass - but I can't remember the company ....maybe someone here can remember the name - they also make the double round headlight upper fairing.
Cheers

Ken....I've just found this mob:

See how you go with them
Cheers
Harvy

Have you tried Formaz in the Sydney, they wreck a lot of FJ's
He is currently advertising the plastics from one, doesn't specifically mention the belly pan though.
Noel

He doesn't advertise all his stuff, but many of us here have bought from him and he always seems to have FJ's
Noel
