Have had 2 FJ1200 87 mod when I was younger. Now I'm 50 and have bought a 97 mod FJ1200
Can't wait to fix some small things and take some rides when the weather is nice.

John-Arild M,

Welcome.  Maybe we can help.  Relax here.
Cheers,
Red
P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.

Welcome in John,

I'm sure we'll be able help if you get any issues. I started off making minor changes to get the bike "perfect" for me .......and the moditis took over and I couldn't stop  :sarcastic:

Is the year of your FJ a typo? Or was it left over at a dealer for a while before being registered ?
