Many things have changed on my FJ , but not the pink stripe.
In fact, even the bagster tank cover continues the pink stripe.
Wouldn't have it any other way :-)

As much as I enjoy a good laugh at that and enjoy the humor, Pink means something much different in my world. But if I had to chose between an FJ and some other bike, I would not avoid the Pink...... Ride it like you stole it Derek.... Looking forward to riding with you again..  :drinks:

Give it a few years and that Power Ranger red suit will fade to pink, then he'll be a Powder Puff Ranger.

,,,, as in the ac/dc song , sink the pink, wasnt about playing pool lol
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it

84 Fj1100  effie , with mods
( 88 ) Fj 1200  fairly standard , + blue spots
84 Fj1100 absolutely stock standard, now more stock , fitted with Fj12 twin system , no rusted headers for this felicity jayne

Well... at least Donna likes the pink stripe(her nickname at work is Pinky).  Its funny how we all ride FJs but argue how much better one is than another based on colour.  If the tank didn't have some damage I probably wouldn't consider a repaint.  Really like the look of Mark Alva's machine.  Maybe in the off season.

Bike has:

FZR1000 3.5" front wheel
ZX7(I think) 5.5" rear wheel
Blue dot front calipers
Braided front lines
Urine cup masters (don't remember from what bike)
Uni pods
Spin on oil filter adaptor

Not sure how far I'll go with the mods yet.  Will probably have some parts for sale also.

I would be interested in any of  the side panels with the pink stripe if you end up repainting in the future.

I make oil

I have an '86 and want to do the wheel and brake swap.  If your forks are still good I'll take them off your hands.

Glad you have a good sense of humor. What did you mean when you said pink means something different in my world?  :unknown:

In my world pink does not belong on my bike, but like I told Derek, ride like you stole it. By the time my suit turns pink, it will be time for a fresh set of moto-skin. My Power Puff fan club membership might due for renewal as well....
