Pulled from storage for resurrection

I had plans that once I returned from the RPM Rally that I would resurrect my 1990 FJ1200. New exhaust and a new paint job.  :yahoo:

I pulled the 90 out of storage and hauled it over to my friend Roger's garage.... Known as the Mouse and Toad Garage. I rode the Honda over to Roger's and took his truck to fetch the FJ. Our friend Steve was there with his new Multistrada.

I got the Black Widow collector and Dominator mufflers mounted but not bolted together completely.

I have actually been riding the 1990 quite a bit since the 1995 is on the lift with the head swap.

Here are a couple of videos.

Just idling in the garage.

Joe Berk (Countryjoe) asked for a video of what the exhaust sounded like on throttle.
