Hello everyone! Ive been wanting to post on this forum since I first joined a few months ago. I Bought an 84 FJ1100 that used to belong to a real cool Motorcycle Racer/Mechanic/Manager and CEO of Bendix Racing and Performance Machine. The FJ is special I think because not only has it traveled all over the USA to motorcycle shows, exhibitions for a long time. It was a Demo bike that Performance Machine used to showcase their Spun ALuminum Wheels and Billed Racing brakes. This Bike ended up with all the goodies....The Brakes are Full floating up front with 6 piston calipers X 2. All the calipers are billet and Quick release units for easy pad changes. One of a kind Spun Aluminum 17" wheels up front and rear. Custum Billet Clutch and Brake Reservoirs. Steel braided lines throughout. Also a Gunfighter Corbin seat matching the original paint job. 4 into 1 Supertrapp exhaust. RPM Dual Pod Aircleaners. Stage 3 jetting. Bike is in great shape. 29K miles. Engine is stock excpept for the undercut tranny gears. Also has a Custom one a kind Gas charged Works Rear shock adjustable under the seat. All in all a pretty unique bike, prettiest FJ Ive ever seen! Im very excited with this bike needless to say. It gets a lot of looks and people starring at all the high tech components. It sounds like a killing machine when it starts! Im going to try and post a pic on here. Its great to be on this forum....you guys are the best!
