Yes it did....when a for sale post links a eBay or Craig's list link as the for sale info, we leave the post up...until the eBay or Craig's list link is deleted....
Then the post on this forum is automatically deleted.....

However is the seller posts here with all the info, we leave the for sale up until the seller tells us it's sold... then we keep the post but mark it as "sold"

I feel better now as a sort of accomplice in this transaction!

 I don't feel so bad since it's only 16

Wow I just physically counted. My bikes I only have 16. But 9 of them are fjs. 2 84s, 4 86s, 1 87, 1 89 and now 1 92. 1 84, 1 86, and the 87 are just complete bikes in parts.

That shows some FJ pride, looks really good.

Hopefully this shows up larger

1. Scrubbed wheels like crazy with blue dish soap, a sponge and steel wool, multiple times.
2. Rubbed down with alcohol multiple times until paper towel had no residue coming off.
3. Taped off areas I didn't want to get painted.
4. 2 light coats and 1 medium coat of Jenolite Universal self etching primer.
5. 2 light coats and 1 medium coat of VHT red caliper paint.
6. 1 light coat and 1 medium coat of VHT clear caliper paint.
7. Cured with space heater at point blank range for several hours since they wouldn't fit into my oven.
8. Cheap ebay rim stickers for $20, I didn't clear coat over the rim stickers in case I want to change them in the future.

I did damage the paint on one side of the front rim while mounting the tire but that was my fault as I let the rim protectors slip, no damage on the other side or rear wheel, the paint is pretty durable.

Has more of a retro look now so I'm happy.

Well... I've added bike no 18 to my collection...What's wrong with me?
I just couldn't pass this one up. 7400 miles brand new flatslides, brand new Vance n Hines exhaust, pods, gsxr wheel, powder coated just about everything replaced every bearing, all the rubber grommets, everything. I asked him why he replaced the steering stem bearings when the bike only had 7400 miles on it. He looked at me like that's a dumb question. And said "Because that's what you do!"
The only thing I could say bad about the bike is the frame looked like it had sat with water in all the lower spots rust started in the low spots.
He said he thinks the previous owner being in California only had a carport and not a garage.
And the swingarm has marks that look like it was from tiedowns.
He has 5 other bikes he's working on in various stages. And 2024 goldwing? (I'm not into touring bikes or Hondas or new bikes) for his girlfriend so she would ride on the back with him.
He had a 97 vmax sitting next to the fj with inverted forks, custom triples, custom wheels, wider back tire,on and on. That wasn't finished yet. But looked better than a bike that just rolled off the assembly line. Wow.

G'day and Welcome Rob
