So yesterday I stopped by Randy's at RPM so we can remove the engine due to the fact I have never got rid of a vibration issue.
Pulled the engine with Randy's help (he is such a great source of good info) I changed out the 2 bottom motor mounts "I know they don't make then any more so I used 2 front ones and drilled them out to 12mm" also fixed some other issues that I had .Finished today then took it out for a spin all I can say is it is a different bike. I am so happy to have RPM so close by. :yahoo: :yahoo:

Yep, Randy is good for that, in fact he is good for all that is FJ....
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
