Craigo thanks for the help! I was way over thinking the 180 rear tire.

Is that the stock Shiny Black or a lighter shade of blue? I like it either way! Pilot Power is a good choice for the back, I was very happy with mine.

Hey there,

Thank me all you want to but if I had not gotten info from others on this site, I would still be ignorant of how to put the GSXR wheel on the FJ, from which I made that little manual.  Really was easy though, eh?   I will tell you that I did just what you did when I did it.  I mean, way over analysed the whole thing. 

Glad it all worked out for you,

OK, what color is it? Name, code, etc. And get some sunlight on that paint, need better pics!

I got bored and designed some new shoes for my 86' mirrors. My intent is to use the CBR mirrors. Currently the CBR mirrors on an 86/87 point up too high to be useful and they look funny. Simi_Ed let me borrow a spare base to take measurements from. Very simple concept, put a wedge under each mirror to flatten them out and get beyond the 80% elbow zone. This is a ten degree tilt. I kept the groove in hopes the rubber boot will still cover and hide the bracket. Here are a few images. Now I have to find a way to make a few.

Have you ever heard of these guys? http://www.emachineshop.com/

Seems like they would be right up your alley!  I remember messing around with their software in 2005 and I thought it was pretty cool then.  I'm glad to see that they are still around!

I'm sure you can upload your files and get pricing for different quantities pretty quickly.

As soon as I get the front wheel on I will get it out in the sun and take some more pictures, as far as the paint code I will get back to you.

Here ya go dave, the pics I took with my phone show the paint a little better with some light bouncing off it.  Can't wait to see it in the sun  



Nice license plate Dave

Well lets see, I bought my first FJ today. A 1984 FJ100, I pick it up Friday. Needs a little work but I'm really pumped about it. Just in time for the ridding season here in the great white north (Northern Illinois about 2 miles from the Wisconsin border).

They quoted me $77 each if I bought two....Interesting service, great for remote R&D at the prices they charge...I wonder if Randy's machine shop would quote lower?
