We used to be able to get Pirellis through Western Powersports but something must be going on as they have dropped all Pirelli products.

I rode the FJ into work for the first time in a couple of years. That was going to be last week but the clutch hydraulics were bad and I had to take the trusty GN. The slave bore and piston looked like crap and there is a new cylinder and lines from RPM in my future. I'll probably rebuild the master too. The patch seems to be holding up.

Second free fj I got was an 84. That someone had taken apart many years ago and couldn't find the title for. It's pretty much complete just in many plastic bins. Has a brand new aftermarket windshield. And a brand new seat that he had purchased after he took it apart. So I have spares for this 84 if I can figure out the electrical problems. He had a shop by him instal a complete harness he had bought. They had it still at the shop when I picked it up. They couldn't figure it out.

You know, those electrical problems can be a headache -

I've give you double the money and make it just go away



Congrats on the latest addition!

Thanks!

It's been a while. I've been so messed up with new job and and then a new job at the new company. And new solar projects. And working on new retarded ideas with the house. I haven't gotten back to the fun stuff yet. I've been given 3 fjs since I bought yours for you. Looks like you've done typical Pat stuff to it. Making it perfect.

When did you get that '84 Dan?

And online sources are out of stock on that rear

I have the double stock spring on my 89. Don't really notice the pull. I also have the coil spring set up on my 1350r and have several more for future projects. Got good prices. Haven't had any slippage or replacement since converting. 1350r is very healthy. And I can't stop doing things like powering the front wheel up while the back wheel is spinning comming out of roundy rounds. The best feeling ever!! When no one else is around of course.
Oh yah converted all to full plates. No half plates for me.

The 86 looks good.  But missing quite a few small pieces. Clutch lever bent. Seat cover ripped.
