Nice!  Welcome to the FJ sandbox! 
Pull up a seat, and be among friends.

There are many good tech articles here for the FJ. 
If you don't find what you need, just ask.

Nice scoot man. Did the bike come with Krauser K2 luggage? Looks like the hockey sticks are there. Lean on the group for advise, lots of really knowledgable members here with a lot of miles under them.

Welcome and congrats,

Dan

HillfootsFJ,

There are some routine maintenance jobs, like replacing old hydraulic fluids and fork oil, that you might want to catch up on, if the Previous Owner did not keep records.

Personally, you might want to replace those ancient rubber brake lines with new hoses, sheathed in stainless steel braided wire.  The outer hose cover can be clear or translucent colors, for a little bling.  You can get tailored $et$, or a good hydraulics shop can duplicate your old lines with new.  I'd suggest getting the banjo ends which can rotate on the new lines (hydraulic hoses will not twist, normally).  You can also get banjo bleeder bolts, to make it easier to bleed the lines at the handlebars (~US$20 each at the right shops).  Some shops will want twice the price, for the bleeder bolts.  Always use all new hydraulic washers, when replacing brake hoses.

Riders with new stainless steel brake lines often report that their supposedly "flakey old brakes" are now much better than new, without replacing anything else, to the point where they advise cautious use at first.

Welcome, the FJ is easy to work on. That's when you discover you can make improvements and modernize. Then you have a really good daily ride that is also great for longer trips and rallies.
