They look great Mark, Looks like your back wheel is off an early model gixxer going by the size markings etc on the rim, later models were on the spokes, trivial I know, but helps when ordering parts knowing your getting the right bits.

I am assuming it is from a 92 or earlier (that is what I am ordering parts for). The previous owner was now certain what model it came off. I know that post 92 they had straight spokes.

That look unreal Bozo. I have gone to a new fuel gauge /volt metre too. It is all in transit, somewhere.

Just curious, you are talking about using the speedhut gauges or some others. If you are using speedhut - which ones, I'd like to see the the volt and fuel gauge.

Yes have ordered the Speedhut gauges. Will put up a photo when they arrive.  Hopefully won't be too much longer. Been a few weeks on order now.( I know postage to Australia might take a while.)

Sorry to replay on this site but, the General haf spoken. Peasant replies -

Doug, great to hear from you, how is the lovely wife?. Once we know where and when we'll put it to the vote. Can't wait to see everyone again.

Sorry forgot Bella wants to drop by which means pick a straight road (no corners) what about the Hume hwy?

No word I've heard on where/when the Aussie FJ Rally will occur - waiting too.

However, if you're around in Nov, there's the Nowra 'Manshed' weekend.  If you want straight road from wife's rellies to Nowra the Hume takes you most all the way.

That's not the route I plan on taking.

Cheers,

Thanks Arnie. It would be pretty amazing to have a WA visitor. Bozo, my Bro lives in Perth and has a much loved FJ1100. His FJowners name is Wingnut (Mark). He'd be amped to hook up with another FJ fan.

Installing a new ( old stock) blinker light switch set and tidying up some wiring while it's apart.

Hey Mark, I'm looking for one of those for my '84. I like the 'flash to pass' feature on the non USA version.

Do you know if you can find any more of those switch assemblies?
