1. Rebuild transmission , I may even take pictures and do a write up.
2. Change fork seals
3. Rebuild carbs
4. Repaint engine
5. Polish up forks
6. normal spring Maint . Change fluids , inspect connections , lubricate all brgs, chain ,ect.
7. Repair faring turn signal mount.

Hey Alan , looks like you have a list going as well. Good luck with it all.

Yeah Mike , defiantly see you at the WCR if not before then .

I plan to get down to the LA area and see my brother in law, He is long overdue for an "ass whoop'in ".

Then ride around a bit .

Fix my turn signals not working issue.
Re-paint the lower cowling.

What is Yours?

Ride it like I stole it...  repeat.  About 15K on the 1350 now and it continues to run like a hose.  I'll probably wax it a few times.  I'm almost due for another oil change, so that will happen soon enough.  I also have a NOS main fairing for Wiz, but not sure I have enough time to change it given the year round riding we enjoy here in Cali.  It is just a spare I guess...

Happy New Year everyone. 

The short list is:

Get saddle bags
Rebuilt the top end
Change the rear shock spring
Clean polish and wax
Attend the Black Hills Rally
Take one or two longer trips going no particular place for no particular reason.
Do good when I can

Yah my list would take me hours just to write it up. I just hope to get some of it done. Before I start my month long sabbatical on 5/20/2015. And hopefully still have some money left to enjoy it. Hope to get the turbo bike at least done enough to take it along on the trip.

Oops! Forgot the custom Corbin seat...

[FJmonkey]

You guys are killing me... I need to fix my cracked case, weld up a new upper shock mount and transfer my entire bike over to a new frame... All the other stuff is just fluff... Lazy Bastards!!!  I hate you all.. 

I also look forward to seeing and riding with you at the WCR.... 

[Steve_in_Florida]

Monkey,
I feel for you, brother. Really.   

FJScott got to see the extent of (some of) my projects the other day. Like giantkiller deerkiller, it would take a while to type up.

The FJ is competing with another toy for what gets what this year...

Although it does need:

Leaking seals replaced
Motor Mounts (including unsticking the top left "solid" mount
Tires
Chain and Sprockets (nearly 40k on current set)
Headlight wiring cleaned up

Maybe:
RPM Fork Valves and straight rate springs

Happening for sure:
Full repaint of the plastics and tank
