Hi all,

Have been back to New Zealand a few weeks ago to unlock the time vault...(FJ 1200 in storage), plus alot of other things we left behind seven years ago.

I prepered her well for hybenation (I hope) and emerged the same as I left her. Had removed all fuel/oil and oiled bores etc and sprayed with CRC.

Have had a quote for shipping and am now waiting for the import permit...(Pre 1989 scheme). I have to Kawa 90cc that are coming as well. :good2:1969 GA1 and GA3.

Looking forward to firing her up again..

Bring on the next rally

Cheers Timbo.

very nice Timbo,

what year etc is the Kawasaki 90 ?? I had a green one no lights, around 1975 ??

Just got back from Sydney, picked up FJ number 5, now 2 x 1100's & 3 x 1200's

This ones a Grey White 1988, import, seen some salt air, but only want it for more bits, owner got it 2 weeks ago, 53,000 km's , swapped motors with his
120,000 & sold it again. He paid $2,600.00 & I just got it for $600.00

Now I better start work to get one nice 12 made out of the 3

Timbo-1 · April 08, 2012, 04:12:58 AM

Good on ya Megsy....ya can never have enough FJ's

Kawa 90's are 1969 GA1 which is a road bike and a GA3 which is a trail bike. They use the same engine, rotary disc on the side and like all Kawa's at the time love to rev.

I have a shit load of spare engine parts, (encluding one complete reconed engine ready to go after restro). In New Zealand at the time the engine was used in a farm bike called a "Mountain Goat". Thats where I gathered most of the engines from over the years.

I've had the GA3 since 1979 and picked the GA1 up about 8 years ago. Both need restro but are complete apart from centre stands and a few other small parts for the GA1. Keep your eyes open for me and give me a call if you see any thing around.

I,ve encluded a couple of photos.
