Before you go buying your Lines decide whether or not you are going to upgrade your front brakes, if you are going to upgrade then get those fittings  on your lines ie if you are getting blue spots R1 or R6 front brakes then get those fittings on your lines just makes it easier when fitting lol

How great are the benifits of changing the brakes to R1 or R6? Which should I choose R1 or R6? Man my wife is going to hate me!

Hi Jason.

Just changing the lines will improve the feel & safety.HH pads will give more bite.Either r1 or r6 or other yamaha blue or gold spot monoblock calipers up till about 04 should work well.Upgrading the master cylinder at the same time will give the most improvement.I went with 01 fjr brake & clutch m/c's(adjustable levers) & calipers.Big improvement over stock.

blue spots...



fjr m/c's.....


I'm sorry if I have helped spread the very contagious moditus!  :flag_of_truce:

 Brother you are absolutely right about fate..... good people have a way of finding each other whether they wind up next door or on the other side of the world...... i can honestly say after 14 years of attending FJ rallies that most all FJ owners are good people! (seriously)

i hope to get over there for a rally soon......I 'm making a move that's gonna cut my overhead and allow me to travel more (Klavdy gave me the inspiration after being dead on the table )
KOokaloo! :good2:

  :good2: Amen ta that. Swap that Overhead for Overhear! ... We`d love more accents in the Snowys.  :yahoo:

i may have the fairing trim, but cant remember what side or year
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

Pete's bike is an 88.

Great to hear from you Darren. The snowys sound very tempting and id reckon it would be a hoot. When the details are finalised ill work up the Julz and see what we can do.

:drinks: and one for the General  :morning2:

R1, R6, FJR FZ 1000, or FZ600 doesn't matter which you choose they are pretty much all the same, tomorrow I check the wreckers in Slacks creek I'm pretty sure they have a 87,88,89,90 model fairing, will let you know
