FJ1100 converted to naked bike look

[Pat Conlon]

....This one seems to just fit to hide cross brace, do not cut it off, do not cripple your FJ  

Too late. The deed is done. Now watch as his crippled FJ returns the favor.

fjman can't say that he wasn't warned. At least there won't be a passenger involved.

Pat, this was for IanDavidWilliams. I do not know how far he is with his project.

Anyway if you try to search for "FJ1100/FJ1200 naked" images, many of them are crippled this way.
IMHO small fairing can hide cross brace and headlight can be mounted on frame as before.

I prefer bigger fairing, best I have ever seen, was FJ600 fairing fitted to 1200.
Old Exup/ZXR twin headlight looks good for me and have air intakes for cooling inner cylinders.

If you want to have coffee racer, old fashioned fairing looks good on FJ too.

Screwed job, but just imagine one round headlight in the center, matched line of fairing with lower tank edge, one seater with OEM tail, bar end mirrors and perfect custom look for me without cutting cross brace.

To have completely naked bike, FJ is not a good starting point

Oh ok...Gotcha Stepan, good advice.

If you want a naked look, get a back bone style frame from an XJR.

Really love the look of this bike! Great work!!

I was wondering how you were able to fabricate a single seat. I would modify my own FJ and shorten the subframe to make it a single seater as well. Would appreciate any guidance.
