I purchased the Cycle new in 1984. It was supposedly the first one sold in my city.

[FJmonkey]

Wow, another original owner story. We would love to hear more of the back story as your rebuild progresses.

I bought mine from the dealer in '89 with 75 miles on it. Practically new, but saved $1K.

Welcome! Awesome to hear you are bringing her back to life.
I am the almost original owner of a 1987. Currently finishing up engine work and cosmetics. Here is my thread! https://fjowners.com/index.php?topic=20477.0

What a great article! I plan on doing several of the upgrades your documented. Thank you.

[Pat Conlon]

Thanks guys...Tex, let us know how you are doing. We are always happy to see a resurrection!

Had my 89 from new and 90,000 miles on her. Before that, I had my 86 from new too, and covered just short of 48,000 miles on it.

I love them
