Gotta love it, Kevin!

I believe the red and white is Can/US version.  Is the blue one from the UK?

Great looking bikes.

The Blue painted version was a UK and European only paint scheme. The same paint scheme was used on the 1TX 1200's

Those are both '84's? If so, all you need is the USA version red/silver and you will have a complete set.

Very cool if you think about having a stable with over 200 horses that you don't have to feed, unless you ride them..... And the Vet bills? Forgetaboutit...

That's super cool, didn't realize there was a stock blue/white. Pretty. Fan of the red and whites as I am, I have to say that may be the best looking FJ11 color scheme for my two cents. Those are both beautiful examples though, how'd you come across them?

The red and white one was aquired locally about a year and half ago, with the blue one being a recent purchase.  The blue one came from Italy originally.  Both 1984.

Both FJs look good, very nice. I am sure they will be happy in there future home. A little jealous here, new garage and two 84.   :good2:

Updated:  Barn coming along, horse has new shoes.  Dunlop gt501.  Just broke in.  Huge difference.

Stable getting closer to complete all the time.  Between work and play (riding), it's hard to get things done.

Didn't think I should start a new thread, seeing as it's "What did you do with your FJ today?".  Received oil pan, front rotors, June 1984 edition of Cycle magazine, and a collector card.    Parts cleaned up well and rotors look to have lots of wear left.

Noticed you had some cardboard under the bike catching an oil leak, hence the oil pan clean up?

That Cycle mag is awesome, I'd love to get one of those.

Post by: BadBro on November 04, 2013, 10:07:01 AM
Andrew, small oil leak from stripped oil drain bolt on existing pan.  Next oil change I will try correct washer to see if it stops the leak, otherwise I'll be putting on the one in pictures.  Fintip, I saw another of these magazines on e-bay too.

I wish my stable was that nice and large. With stereo speakers too. I hope the horses have not been put up for the winter.  Dave

Looking good Kevin! If I'm not mistaken, that stable looks light by approximately one FJ... or is it shy and hiding from the camera?

Derek

p.s.: Doing the Port Alberni toy run this Saturday. Are you going?
