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/

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... :dash1:

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.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

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