All the electrical repairs done, front fairing and repaired fender re-installed and fork brace from RPM.
A few more minor plastic repairs, back on with a new higher touring windscreen.
Then ready for the road to see if I like the the new windscreen or needs an additional deflector.

So took off the MRA Touring windscreen and put original back on.
It seemed to put the disturb airflow right in the middle of helmet really increasing the noise.  Also noticed allot of additional flexing of the fairing where the windscreen mounts, so unless I stiffen that area up to mitigate cracking.  Will stay with original.

You will like that fork brace! All FJ's with conventional forks should have one.

Kudos! Another FJ on the road....right where they belong.

I will agree with Pat  :good2:
It does not matter how slowly I go as long as I do not stop.
