The Illusive US '95

[racerrad8]

Picked up the illusive '95 today...

Not really, but it was a 93 that was sold in 95, I almost got it 20 years to the day.



One owner and only 14K miles...but the tank is rusted out from sitting for more than ten years.


I am going to send it to these guys and see how it goes; http://www.fueltankservices.com/

Nice find!

Sweet!

What a find! Well done. The various tank restorers around these days should be able to get it back better than new.

Well, I am trying to determine what I am going to do with this bike...

We are going to have it up & running in the next couple of weeks. I think I am probably just going to sell it as I am up to 11 FJs and I always told myself 10 was the max...

Anyhow, I am trying to determine if I just get it running and sell it the way it is, or do I up grade and sell it to someone ready to ride with upgrades.

Any thoughts?

I do know this is not motorcycle selling weather for sure.

Randy, get it ready for sale as a running bike. Then like any good dealership, offer upgrades/options at a discount. They will cost more later on. You can use the forum posts from actual users as to the value of the different upgrades.

Like Monkey said , leave it stock and offer upgrades to purchaser.

+1 on Mark and Marks comment. Nice find. Hope the tank comes out well.

There's nothing wrong with 11, just think of it as a 10 with a typo...

Maybe get another tank and give it the ball bearing treatment??
