Hi, just thought I'd post up an intro. My name is Cat and I have been riding for two years now and love it, about 8000 miles under my belt, ridden a Honda Rebel 250, Shadow 750, and Ninja 500. My brother just gave me his old '84 FJ600. It will be my project for next year (putting together a custom Honda hatchback this fall/winter). It has about 22K miles and ran well when he parked it several years ago. I guess a rather large friend of his stretched the chain and my brother parked it. It will need: chain, tank (beyond repair), fork seals, pedals, re-sealing the top end, and either new fairing or stuff to make it a streetfighter. The most work I've done on a bike is tighten the chain on my Shadow, although I have worked on cars. This should be an interesting project.
So as I go I'm sure I will be picking you vintage Yamaha guru's brains, and if anyone has any good sites (besides craigslist and ebay) to go to for parts and advice I'd appreciate some links!
And for you leghumpers, yes I'm single but I'm NOT HOT! (I've been on enough forums to know that the first questions for a newb female are are you hot and post a pic! ) Well, here's pics:
