Just bought my first FJ and I'm pumped!!

[scharding]

Ok.......after much time and parts replacement, she's finally on the road!!!

She has new tires, gas tank, rebuilt carbs, calipers and clutch slave, and a bath!! She runs great, fast and smooth. With less than 31,000 kms on it, i will be riding her for a long time to come!!

Nice dust off and return to the living....

Looks like the chain could use a good clean/ soak/ lube.  Nice to see it back to life.

Kudos laddie. I hope you have many, many happy miles together.
Just a small pointer based on experience: If you want your helmet to have some nasty dings and scars, keep putting it on the seat.
(Don't ask me how I know)

Great looking bike. Welcome to the group Steve.  If your heading through Simcoe give me a heads up...I'll meet you at Timmy's or something and have a good look at your FJ!  Just got my well-abused and dust covered '86 on the road...what a rush to hear it finaly running again.  I often run her up to Cambridge to pick my wife up from work on those too-nice-to-drive kind of days.

Ya the helmet on the seat was for the pic only! it took me 2 or 3 minutes to take my hands away from it to take the shot!!

"dbelch" I'll give you a pm a day or 2 before if I am going for sure and we can meet at Timmies for sure!!

The chain has been well lubed and it's starting to look better the more I ride.

looking good steve ,    feels good to dust one off and bring it back from the edge.

soon it will be time for the upgrades when you catch the moditis bug.
