Of all my bikes the only one I won't sell is the FJ. I am in and hope we have enough members interested to insure we have Randy for years to come. Randy is a man of his word and beyond reproach. As to his character.....he is a character all right but I don't know what kind.   :rofl2:  Dave

+1. Well said. I'm in.

OK, I'll nibble a bit.  I saw a very interesting Project FJ at the WCR, that was running on EFI.  Would these proposed 25% investment coupons be good towards a FI system?  I feel like my FJ has pretty much become a Christmas tree already, with lots of ornaments on it.  The star missing off the top would be a FI system ...

Yeah, I'll be in this.  $125 of stuff for $100?
I've made money on bikes rarely in my life, this one looks a sure thing.

How about a tally of those who have voted, and what the minimum vote for it to go ahead will be?

If this financing option works out the coupon will be good for anything I offer on the RPM website.

So, the ultimate question you are asking is if you can use it for a FJ EFI project system I am currently working, that is an unknown at this point.

I am still early in the R&D phase with my first outing with it at the WCR where it preformed almost flawlessly. The one issue is a know issue before we left the shop and there is software code being written to address the issue.

From there I have a ton of tuning to get dialed in, then and only then will I be able to determine if I will be able to offer EFI as a kit for sale via the website. While the majority of the EFI system will be a bolt-on; a plug & play system there is still going to have to modifications required to make it work like proper placement and modification of the exhaust for the oxygen sensor, plumbing of fuel lines and electrical work required.

The plan is to be able to offer it as a complete kit for sale to bolt onto your FJ, but right now I have a lot of work to do get be able to start making the decision if it can be done for the average FJ'er to complete.

But, if there is ever a day & time it is available via the RPM website, yes you could use your coupon code.

I believe Arnie has still got his original play lunch coins. And influentially, yeah they would be worth way more now.

Arnie,

I cant see the running tally of the poll, so I am not sure.

Honestly, I need to get the "majority" of the members on this forum to make this a feasible option. I don't need 10 or 20k which would be 100 or 200 members to get this done. While it would help, it really does not help me move forward with the purchase...

And without the purchase, I don't think I can afford to go down the 25% road.

Frankly, a 2000 member participation will not allow me to get the purchase completed, that is why I used the word "majority", which means I will still have to seek other funding above & beyond the forum and other financing already available to me.

That is my hope, the majority of members participated at a lower investment level and not a major strain on their personal finances.

Yeah right.  That's 'cos all the money will still be in your back pocket.

FJ's and XJR's are on their last legs.

You're just like Doc at FJOC.
