These are the updated pictures of my 91 FJ since I bought it.
Some are close-up shots showing a particular area of interest on the bike.

I have started this thread as much for myself, as much as sharing it with you all, in a way of keeping a visual record of what I like to call, "My Ever Changing FJ"!.
Some of my changes have been very noticeable and common within the FJ group, and some are very subtle, and easy to over look.

Thank you for your indulgence!

Reluctantly I must say that you make Pink look really good.... Excellent work and attention to detail. My hat is off to you fellow FJOwner.. :hi:

Thanks for posting the pics Leon. This is an inspiration for all of us (especially myself) I think. :good:

Kurt- The mirrors mounted pretty easy, with only a slight enlargement of one hole each on the mirror mount. They reach around my shoulders nicely for the rear view.

Mike- Inspiration is my goal with this thread. Our very own Pat Conlon was mine.
I know of no better way to convey this other than by pictures.
I have had alot of fun with my FJ and the improvements and changes that I have done truely make it MINE.
I will never say it's done, as I know of alot of mods that are yet to be done.
I suggest you do what you can, when you can with whatever money you can allow yourself to spend on your FJ, and get out there and have fun with it.

Thanks guys,
Leon

very nice work, I have the same mirrors and they work well for me as I am not the smallest fella.

I have kleptomania,
but when it gets bad,
I take something for it.

As good as Leon's pictures are, you guys should really see this bike in person. One word: Stunning.

Are not our FJ's one of the most beautiful bikes ever made?

I mean, yea, she's a big girl, but look at those lines!

.....and she sure can Polka your legs off around the dance floor..... :good2:

You inspired me and I just bought the mirrors.  I can't see around my shoulders with the ones I bought.  They look cool but function is not good

Absolutely gorgeous!

I think the "Dragon" mod is my favorite!  :sarcastic:

I knew it. Ha the truth comes out!!!  (popcorn)  Closer and closer the pink is drawing you in, resistance is futile.
