I was worried you'd say that, my inexperience is leading me to try and hide the existing wiring somehow.

I've removed some of the unnecessary stuff and hidden the rest on a tray underneath the seat and tank. Works fine. I've been waiting for something to melt and short circuit, but it hasn't happened so far.  :wacko3:

Has anyone got the ratio of the FJ tach?

edit: The harness isn't all that complicated, just download the wiring diagram from the files section and have a good look at it.

 Strategically place all excess wiring on top of the plug wires and on tray towards back and keep shielded as much as possible ive done 3000km now with no burn out or short problems.

Love the fighter thread by the way, the fj is reborn!

I'm stashing it under the seat at the moment, then extending the necessary wires to the front. Best I can do at the moment. Great looking bike, very tidy!

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

Some very nice looking custom FJ's.  Dave

I noticed a couple of bikes in those pics had the perimeter frame around the headstock cut off. Their risking injury riding the bike like that because all the strength has been taken out of the front end. It might look better without that bar around the forks but it was put there in the first place for a good reason.

Found this on a Facebook FJ page and thought the street-fighter guys might enjoy:



Which actually made me think of this... What's the possibility or thoughts of adding a couple sections, like one for Street-Fighter and/or one for Legends Racing?

or not  (popcorn)

Nice bike, do you have a link to the Facebook page it was on? I can't seem to find it.

Brand new t3/t4 turbo should be arriving by mail on Tuesday then the fun begins. Trying to have it all worked out an ready to burn tire for spring.

I also have a turbo complete kit. From R&B. It's brand spanking new and complete. I got it off fleebay for $1500. He had R&B build it for him in 1989. And never put it on. Had other projects get in the way.

Anyway I have never messed with turbos. Before so I will be watching and learning. From you. Hopefully I'll get some of my projects out of the way. So I can get it going by spring too (popcorn)
