which year FJ is the most beautiful?

[Travis398]

don't call the winner yet , not every one has voted , ya gotta wait till after the weekend at least.

I figured we would need at least 100 votes before "calling it" but I think I can already see the pattern.

I voted for the 86 of course. I just love the red/white color scheme. I don't know why I just do. But I think the 89 is the best year for mods because it already has some of the good bits on it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder. With all honesty, I believe the 1984 is the most beautifull because silver and red really look great together. Since the 84's were the only year to have this color combo it should have seperate vote column, I think.

WINNER!

Holy crap!

Pat has a twin??

I didn't think it was possible to find another FJ owner that OCD on polishing and cleanliness.         Not to mention both having '84's.

SkyFive - is that bike as perfect in person as it looks in the photo?

I have to admit, that's really nice!

Just my opinion,

But Klavdy's ex-seppo bike b4 the infamous pinecone incident, with all the mods looked just drop dead beautiful!!!    I hope the new owner will bring it back to it's former glory and post pics.

New owner here...  Bought and paid for, picking up after Thanksgiving.   

I will post pics if I can figure out how.  The target outcome is actually more of a hybrid of Klavdy's bike with more of the good stuff from Ritt (bought his exhaust and tune) and a few minor upgrades of my own.  I intend to take the time to do it right and make it beautiful in form and function...  Then ride the snot out of it   

I love my '90 and will keep it to compare the two when complete, so I have no reason to compromise on the '92.  Afterward, one of the two will be for sale...  Probably early spring.

Thank you. I just completed a complete restoration on it and it was alot of hard work. I painted everything except the bodywork and I polished everything (note kickstand spring) that isn't painted. It looks as good in person but it isn't without a few flaws. The tank has two dents on the right side the size of a quarter and there are scratches here and there on the bodywork but I don't want to break the paint because I would never get it as good as the factory. It's still a work in progress.

Alright!!! this guy and Pat get special parking at rallies....very far away from the rest of us......where we can't see and compare our bikes to theirs. We will chain off the parking so it looks like their bikes are just for show and not for riding. Is sniffing the polish like sniffing glue and you get addicted? I really want to make the next WCR but now I feel like I need to make sure my valve covers have a mirror finish on the inside just in case anyone looks.

Awesome dedication to detail, any bike that is over 20 years old that looks like that is a sign of pure love and passion. Keep it up...but park somewhere else.
