It's turmoil unlike anything I can remember seeings. Even the sketchy backup sources, eBay, Amazon, others, are all out of stock.

I think that's a good plan. Try the Barnett/gold springs with the RPM 7/1 clutch pack with your oem FJ clutch master....see how it feels. I think you'll be fine.

Just a point of clarification, the FZ-1 uses a cable clutch, it's the FJR that uses a hydraulic clutch, and there are plenty of those on FleaBay if you want a lighter pull.

Please report back and let us know how the Barnett/oem clutch master feels.

Cheers.  Pat

Getting back to this, been a crazy time at work. So I ordered the RPM clutch pack and the Barnett coil conversion. If I find the clutch pull heavy FZ1 clutch masters on eBay are plentiful and cheap.I already have the Spiegler braided line, should be a direct swap and a good match for the R1 brake master I have.

Thanks for everyone's input.

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?
