Hello Guy's! New member here looking to start moding his bike.

[Thmsdoyle]

Best of luck to you and your family for the storm - hope it passes with no damage.

WOW you picked up a clean 86!  Sounds like good mods planned for it

I'm not finding it on ebay?

I've found 2 FJR1300 Clutch Master Cylinders on ebay.  Both are in the UK.  I was hoping to find something in the US.  Here are the ones I've found.

I'd like to know what is the best Master Cylinder to use to make the use of a double clutch spring easier.  I've read in several threads others have used this one.  Is it the best?  Or is there another one out there that will work better?  I'd prefer to maintain as OEM of a look as possible.  I'd also like to know if I do go with the FJR front brake master cylinder as well will I need to order special hoses or will FJ1200 work with these masters?

I am sorry if my previous post was difficult to understand.

My family, home and town made it through the Hurricane.  Lots of branches, leaves and debris.  Nothing a few days of cleaning won't fix up.  Other places were not so lucky.  Please keep the victims of the storm in your prayers.  They will have a long road back.

Hi
I have fitted a ZZR 1100 D clutch master cylinder. Mimic the OE FJ spec and you don´t need to change the hose, only adapt the electric connector.
Makes the clutch silky smooth
See the pic in my web if you like, Engine section

What you're looking for is a 14mm clutch master cylinder.  There are many on the market used on other bikes.  The FJR is probably the most popular.

I bought FJR MCs for both brake and clutch.  They work very well with blue dots (excellent brake feel now, the old radial/urine cup one was hard as a rock) and doubled clutch spring.  Bought new from Boats.net.  Work fine with std FJ brake and clutch line kits from Spiegler (sp) even though I'm running LDL triple clamp and handlebar kit on top of FZR750 USD forks...  I think you'll be fine with the FJ braided line kit.

I believe the MCs are from a '96 FJR.  Looks very stock...

It is good to hear that your family and home are safe. Sounds like you will be busy working on the FJ when you get home. Send pictures please.

Thank you very much for the reply's these are exactly what I needed.  Flynt the practical experience that you guy's share is invaluable. Guy's like yall is why this site ROCKS!      

Yamifj1200 you are an Ebay guru.  I've searched and searched I guess you have the touch sir.   Thank you for looking I do appriciate it.  I'm buying that one today.  And fj rider I intend to post as I go.  Sometimes I get caught up in what I'm doing and don't take pictures while I'm working.  I will try to get some as I go.  If I can pay forward some of the help here it will be the least I can do.

a '96 FJR...

That's right, and the handlebars are a modified unicorn horn (no '96 FJR either)...

I meant an '06 FJR.

Ok FINALLY made it home!     Waiting for me was a stack of goodies just begging to go on my bike.  First order of business....

Vibranators from RPM.  I rode the bike about 15 miles to ensure I had a good memory of the feel of the bike with out them and then brought it home and installed.  Quick and easy installation and they look good too.  Good quality finish.  It took me more time to gather my tools and open the packages than to install.  I took the bike on another 15 mile ride over the same route for comparison.(which turned out to be an hour ride)  I have to say the difference is VERY noticeable.  Honestly, I was suspect of the reviews I've read in the past.  I could not get that some little bar ends could make such a difference over the ride comfort of the bike.  They absolutely make a world of difference.  If anyone out there is contemplating adding them don't hesitate they are everything you've read and then some.  They have to be experienced to be believed, well worth the money.  I love my bike but any rides over 30 min where uncomfortable for me.  Adding these has changed the way the bike feels and I am much more comfortable with the thought of long distance riding on it. Thank you RPM.


I am looking forward to my next change.  Hopefully, it will make it even better for the trips I have planned for next year and my local riding as well give it some of my own personality.  This is fun.

Installed the second clutch spring, removed the keeper spring and replaced the narrow plate with a wide plate.  I had no idea how much power I was loosing to the clutch slipping it is simply amazing.  This is probably the first thing anyone should to to thier FJ in my opinion.  I don't think I will need the FJ1300 clutch master.  It works no problem with the stock master for me.  I'm going to keep it though, I might install later to see how I like it.  I replaced the right mirror I damaged with a factory mirror from Randy(thanks again) and rode it.  I will likely install my spin on filter adapter when I return home and change the oil.  I have all the parts for the wheel mod now. I need to have them powder coated and buy tires.  I plan on wearing out the tires on it before I do the mod.  They still have plenty of thread on them so that will be a while.  Back to wok until the first of November.  The weather should be nice when I return home for riding.  It rained to much to ride much his time at home.

Ok, finally back home for a little while.  Had a few boxes of goodies from RPM.  Today I changed my oil, installed my spin on filter adapter, washed and waxed the wee beastie and about to take her out for a ride.  The weather is glorious and I'm looking to enjoy the Kookaloo!

Installed my Rentek bars today from RPM and fixed a crack on my belly pan.  They were a tight fit but look nice and I'm happy with the extra protection.

[I make oil]

I found a NEW never used belly pan for my bike from a dealer in Florida.  It is in my red and white colors so I jumped on it.  There is nothing wrong with mine just a small crack that's been repaired and is not noticeable i just want my bike to be as near perfect as possible.   I will install my new belly pan and post up a pic this week.  I'm not sure if I will keep my old one or put it up for sale.  It seems that a lot of people are looking for them.  Anyone interested?
