The 7th item is complete.

It will be awhile before I can do a road test. I did start the bike and noticed a HUGE difference in the starting. Push the starter button and it starts RIGHT NOW, absolutely no hesitation.
I set it up for performance range 2 and rev-limit range 1


I would try to come up with some type of a isolation mount, to keep the bad vibes from doing bad things -

Looking forward to hearing how this works out for you!

Good idea.. :good2:   I may get some hard rubber washers from Ace Hardware and place them between the Powerpak and the frame.

I am also working on getting one of these fairings ordered. If all goes as planned, I will place the order on the 19th of Feb. and hopefully have it by the middle of March. My plan is to have this on the FJ for the Central Rally.

Fred, don't those fairings come from France?

Yes Pat,

The fairing comes from France. I have a fellow FJ owner in England giving me some assistance with making this happen.

The difficult part is the company only takes orders by phone or snail mail.

Make sure you post up your FJ with it when you get it installed. This way we know exactly when to revoke your "Man card".  :sarcastic:
