[Thugsfatboy]

Hello everyone,i have a 1984 fj1100 that i bought new many years ago,it was my second one as i wrote the first one off when a cage driver ran a red light ,have a couple of other toys in the shed but went searching for forums as i want to bring the front end up to something better and have some fun racing Historics,did a 17 in rim conversion on it 15 years ago and when it was only 6 months old it got an 1188 hi comp Arias kit and Mikuni flatslides,very hard stuff to source at the time ,everyone was making Kwakka's and Suzi gear
Have a couple of other bikes 01 Fatty Highly Modded,08 1098s again Highly tweaked and a 2010 s1000rr scary fast

welcome to the group mate. 

sounds like you are a true modifier with a variety of machines to choose from.

i assume you are looking to replace the entire front end ?


Kookaloo!

Welcome, sounds like you've hit the ground running here (and are ahead of many mod wise). Is that 192 rwhp on the FJ? Woohoo!!

[Thugsfatboy]

No unfortunately its a BMWs1000rr i cannot remember what the FJ made with the flatslides and big bore ,cams have been welded and regound wasnt much around in 1984 for performance ,we gained heaps by slotting the cam sprocket bolt holes,ran 9.8 qtr back in 1985 with MRE air shifter and we extended the swingarm 6 inches,forgotten how many times 2nd gear has been rebuilt,fitted up some 17 inch wheels running a 180 on the rear,did a roadtrip once 14500 klm in 5 weeks great bike for touring and drag racing

Welcome to the group mate!

There are several of us who have replaced the front end...... USD YZF750s or FZ1 gen1 seem the post popular, but a few other options are represented here.

I have FZ1 front and rear. Have not done anything to the motor yet, bar the external mods of exhaust, carb jetting, Uni dual-pod filters, Dyna2000 ignition. One day when I wear the engine out it will be getting a few more horses.

Cheers
