Hi guys!

Chris here, just recently built my fj1100 that i scored for free off a relative and put only 500km so far but loving every second. Its been a trying journey to get it to this stage and still more to come but just happy riding it for now.

Few pics

1st pic was going to cost to much to get rego'd so i changed a few things in the second to have a roadworthy bike.

Edit. Cant seem to post pics here any help would be great thanks. Two pics in gallery but cant transfer.

Welcome to the group.

Can't beat the price for your ride.

Great looking street fighter.

Cheers Fred, i must admit the fj has got balls for an old bike. Previous bike was zx9r, this thing is right up there especially since i got rid of the bulk of the weight.

Welcome Mate, quite a modified FJ you have. More pics please, looks like it done well.

IMO A low profile 180/55/17 tire and underslung caliper would really set off the Street Fighter Look.

Welcome to the group ! I like your chain guard. Wish I had one of those to polish.... Your bike looks good.

:hi:Welcome Chris. Wow! What a beast! We need you at one of our Manshed days. I`m on the Sunshine Coast. Cheers!

Cheers guys, a wider wheel is definitely on the to do list but for now just want to enjoy riding it instead of wrenching on it all the time. Been a 6 month journey to get it to this point and I'm happy to be on a bike again, its been 5 years!

This is take 2

Wathca gunna do for the headlamp, the front original headlamp/fairing mount chassis section poses a problem with the naked design, I have plans for a my other 1100 to get a 1200 motor
& 17 inches front & rear.

That front chassis section is in the road of a fork mounted head lamp & that section, I feel, would weaken the bike if cut out
