Well I went to Portage to look @ 3 fj's. One for my brother to put the right side shifter set up on. One for me. And one for  my other brother. Well one guy never returned my call. One (the one my brother that lost his leg wanted) only had  9800 miles on it but I think it had 27 years of sitting outside. Wasn't worth the $1400 he came down to.But the one I wanted. Came home with me. It had 25,000 miles.  The right side scoop was busted. And it has a bad repair of the piece of fairing that is missing under the  scoop. A cheesy gemini?? exhaust. That is coming off..  But a nice surprise. It has a works performance ultra sport shock. And a leather Corbin gunfighter and lady seat. Now I have a place for the parts I bought for the 87 that I can't tittle. The 2008 gsxr1000 inverted front end  powder coated gsxr wheels, spin on oil filter, pods, exc. Basically everything I did to the 86.

Still looking for one for my brother that lost his leg. My  other brother decided to wait.

Can't wait for  winter to start on the 89.

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Yah me too. Was going to try titling the 87 frame in another state. And bring it back, and retitle it here. But a friend. Told me his brother just tried that. And wi dot. Would not honor it. I know wi has a title research department. Evidently they watch for that now.

Oh yah  Thanks to everyone that tried to help me out with that.
