Happy Father's Day to all Dads out there.

I'll be doing a little tinkering on the FJ as well. Got that oil leak to attend to. After that I'll be taking my son for a ride.  We're both very excited about that!

My gift was PM on our Jura Impresa E8 automatic espresso machine. That thing is like working on Rube Goldberg design, except it has 20 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag. But I am getting a nice lunch and Father's day cards from the wife and kids. I guess I got one gift a day early. I have been having intermittent issues with my FJ head light. With the troubles others have had with their HID I decided to install the spare system I had to make the WCR. The problem persisted, DAMN!!! Well it was not the HID. Pulling in after my ride with Karl yesterday I was facing the garage door and saw my light go off then back on. WTF???? Turn the bars back and forth a few times and get the ON/OFF issue again. So my gift was finding out I have a chafing issue or bad connection under the fairing. Better to find out early before I get stranded from it. Happy Father's Day all.  :good2: :good2: :good2:

I already have done the Gixxer rear wheel mod. Do you already have the wheel and parts? On the front end, have you bought the forks, wheel, calipers and master? In other words, how deep are you into this?

Just got home from Escondido. I picked up a complete 88 FZR wheel (wheel, calipers, rotors, fender, complete right fork, left lower fork) and a set of blue spots for a low low price of free.99. I actually just traded for some spare tools I had. WIN WIN situation!!! And I'm trying to work out a trade for a complete rear GSXR wheel, including caliper and brake rod.

Had a nice little ride with my boy.  Even saw another FJ, 85 by the looks of it.  Heading south on the Island Hwy near the VIU exit at around 4 pm.  Riding two up. Anyone on here?
