Hi, I'm Ryan from Scotland! Just got my 1985 FJ1100 about a month ago and I must say, what a machine! She's a bit scuffed up on one side because one of the previous owners decided she'd look better lying down... Still rides like a dream, perished front tyre and all! Was browsing the interwebs and happened upon this site. Good to know there is plenty of others enjoying these fabulous machines as I sure as hell am.

Welcome to the forum Ryan.  If we send you parts, will you send us scotch?  :biggrin:

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Welcome Ryan....good tyres are a must!  Consider them the price of admission. Enjoy your '85.

Cheers.  Pat

Welcome Ryan - maybe we'll meet up when my wife and I are up in Scotland riding this summer.

As they guys have said, this is a great place for info/advice, although parts can work out mighty expensive with the exchange rate, import duty and an extra 20% for VAT !
