Ken,
Your paint pics look great..be great to see the finished product.

Jeff, yes I must say I', pretty happy with the result. Hopefully i didn't screw it up with the decals yesterday.  :unknown: I am most concern for the tank and how it will end up looking with the decals... :scratch_one-s_head:
I did not put any on the main fairing, for now. Will waite and see how it turns out. Isn't that much work attaching new decals, and a layer of clearcoat.  :good2:

I can't wait to see how it looks. I will save your seat at the Ambulance Drivers secrete clubhouse in case you change your colors back.
Mark, once a ambulance driver always a ambulance driver  :dance:
As I have said earlier, I will have a second fairing with the "propper" color, so you just go ahead and hold off that seat in that clubhouse :good2: Will there be beer?

Joe,
Glad some of my pictures will help you. Post pictures of your assemble :good2:

Cheers
Ken

Looking good Ken....

Been searching the forum but can't seem to find find it.
I need to know the measurements for the fuel line for the 86 fj1200 with vacuum petcock.

Remember reading a thread were this was covered,  and that the vacuum pumps need a wider inner diameter on the tubing than the powered one's .
Thought I'll replace those lines before i put the tank back on.

Found a thread where 10 mm were mentioned. But unclear if that was inner or outer diameter...

10MM is the ID for the fuel line.

Love that shade of blue :good2:

Okay, started to put her back together today.
So far all the parts are attached to the bike except from the main fairing and belly pan. (Was to feckkin cold)
Before I put the main fairing back on, i need to do some wiring etc. I also need to figure out how i want my new turn signals.


I have been thinking of doing the CBR mod with intergated turnsignals

Although, they are LED and i would need a resistor for them but i don't know which one. There are literally thousands of them..

Great idea! Stock blinkers don't look that good IMHO.  If these are available as a Honda OEM part, I would advise to get those.  I can't tell if the one's you've listed on ebay are OEM or aftermarket.   I've had 4 different mirror sets on my FJ.  The OEM Hondas that are fitted now are much better than any of the aftermarket I tried.  If you're just after looks, I guess it doesn't matter, but if you want to see what's behind you and actually be able tell what you're looking at-- go with the OEM Honda, you won't be sorry.

keand3

Well i do change them in order to be able to see past my shoulder so i all ready have Honda mirrors.  :good2:

Theese cbr mirrors is aftermarket i guess, but not the cheap replacement as far as i can see.  They are made to replace  the oem ones. Though slightly different design with integrated turnsignal

You're right.  I  looked and integrated turn lights don't appear to be available on OEM 's. Those that you posted will look great!  Post some pics if you go with it.

keand3

Hopefully they will work out great too...
Won't know for sure until i try them.:-)
