Here's the windscreen I run on my 1100 https://www.ebay.com/itm/395125097967

Congrats! Share an update about it when you get your hands on it.

Quote from: Paul.1478 on Today at 07:56:51 AMDoing the front and rear suspension was the one most noticeable difference on my FJ hands down.
In my opinion, stock suspension on every bike I ever owned (excluding the Ducati) are woefully inadequate.

Agree 100%

On our FJ's, the stock damper rod forks, springs and shock needs an upgrade.
Then...the narrow pig heavy 16" rims and biasply tires
Then....the front brakes....
Then....
Then....

Thanks Red, I appreciate your insight.  I ended up making what I thought was a fair offer on the bike 86FJNJ linked above given it's unknowns, and that it had been listed for a while. (I saw it on FB last year) My offer was accepted, looking forward to my latest winter project!

there are two options.  I prefer to be completely above the turbulence so the Zero Gravity wind screen works for me on my '85.

As far as seals go....buy OEM, don't trust aftermarket seals.  Don't wait for the "I told you so"....

I think Pat is right that you should try the taller screens. I have an 84 fj and an 86 fj . I find the fj1100 is more comfortable and does a better job of keeping the buffeting off my head.
 I'm the opposite torso length though. I'm a little over six foot with 32 inch pant leg length .

No, the 84/85 windscreens are different from the 86/87 because the fairings are different.
You can cut down your windscreen or look for the aftermarket screens that have a +2 or +4 inch extension.

I have a short torso.My friends say I'm a chest with legs. My84 FJ screen seems to direct the wind blast right at my head causing a huge amount of buffeting. I read somewhere that 86 and newer had lower windscreens to get around this problem. Can I retro fit a later screen to my 84? Or just trim my present screen?
