Hi Jeff, your FJ has a really clean look, I like that a lot :good2:. I was looking at the bike I have without the fairing and the forks look really raked compared to the 95 Speed Triple I have, does the rake differ throughout the years/models?

Good question; it is amazing to me how many pieces do NOT interchange when it comes to the frame and body work, even though the models all look pretty much the same to the un-trained eye. 

Have to leave that answer to some of the detail folks on here. 

It is good you have two of the same model to put together.

Regards,


Jeff

Welcome and good luck. It does look like a lot of work there ahead of you. I would be curious to know if you need/want both of the lower air dams? I have been looking for one.

Would I be right in saying you are in Burford Georgia, America and not Burford Oxfordshire in England? I am in Staines near London Heathrow airport so postage migh be a problem!

I have the bikes home now and after a pressure wash they look a lot better than when they were in the pile of scrap metal. Checking the Road Tax online the parts bike was likely last on the road March 1994 and the other complete bike August 2002. Both bikes turn over if dropped into gear and that's about as far as I am likely to get for a while as I have another couple of major projects to be getting on with first so they may end up being sold.  :cray:
