finnerz89 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yeah it stops pretty well considering its substantial weight lol Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Sweet bike finnerz, miss my old tank, be careful tho a 100MPH appears and disappears rapidly. Join the FJ owners club, they know all about these things and are really helpful, cheap parts and supplies as well.

finnerz89 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Yeah once you're off and moving it really goes! I'm finding the bars a bit of a stretch but I'm sure I'll get used to that. I'll be joining the club shortly! Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted April 11, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2016 Looks good Paul, is that bike# 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Re the bars mate, look up a set of bar risers on ebay, I fitted a pair onto mine and the difference was brilliant went from leaning forward to upright, they are only about an inch in height but also bring the bars back about 1/2 an inch which makes it much easier on your back and arms.

Malleus Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Out of curiosity how much would you sell the Suzuki for? I have been looking at Dual Sports lately - looks like fun.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnerz89 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Yeah it had a full rebuild 8 years ago, and has done next to no miles since. Nickel plated swing arm and frame! Very shiny lol. Only thing that let's it down is the paint on the barrels Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The Club was keeping an eye on the sales listing for this one - You'll have to hop on the forum and let them know how it turned out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Is it this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-FJ1200-/321626345584 If so sounds like it has a fairly interesting history! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derish Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Looking good! Congrats. Some visual cues from a newer Fazer and a 90's Kawasaki GPZ... I wonder what's that about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Well it is a 1992 so 90's styling isn't surprising lol Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ah ok! I didn't just select an ebay listing - Google image cache seems to have exact same image for it - not sure why. I really like the style of 90's bikes - reminds me of anime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
