Dirty Street Bobber, FJ1100 -85

[Bearmeister]

Hello!
Starting a new project, picked up an old Fj1100 from 85. Going to rebuild it bobber/cafe/streetfighter-ish style We will see what it turns out to be haha
Its been standing around for a few years, but i got it running, except the fuel pretty much runs straight through the carbs :/ So thats first off, before the rebuilding part.

Something like this is what im aiming for, this is an early paint picture, but you get an idea of what im thinking

If it's well done, Everybody will think your a genius and if not....Well, not genius. Haha

This one here is, in my eyes, genius!





There was a side view floating around but I can't see it right off.

Thats a nice looking bike

Have a lot of plans/ideas for the project, but Ill let the piictures speak for them selves further on. Then we´ll see how many who hates or likes it

[fintip]

That bike was in rough shape, not a good candidate for a pure breed anyways.

I don't know about the handlebars and the seat size, colors... But you're definitely going to want to replace the tank and pipes, for anything of the style it looks like you're going for. (I definitely wouldn't call what you're doing a cafe or a street fighter, by the way... Looks like a cruiser convert attempt there, if I have to title it.)

[Joe Sull]

Notice how the flat black on the stock tank, look smaller and part of the seat and tail. Smart

[Bearmeister]

Its not gonna look like the picture. Gonna keep the tank, make a solo seat with crocodile leather, sand/brown color. Going to be details in copper color, overall matt black. Some bits in white as well.

Here´s some things ive bought

Strange they kept the passenger pegs on.

[giantkiller]

No pass pegs. Extreme rear sets.

[Joe Sull]

I didn't notice the pegs. Maybe it look weard without them. Look at the fork tubes- I saw a writeup on how to change to those tubes. I thing it was on a UK FJ site. I'll try to find it.
