You've made a good job of that Kurt.

Everytime I spray something and then hang it outside to dry in the sun. It ends up attracting every flying insect in the garden to it. :lol: :lol:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

FZR Guys,
The brake lines you recommended for my FZR worked out so perfectly I purchased them for my FJ1200 as well.

They just arrived from the UK TODAY!!!!!

I'm making good progress on this bike but I think I will always like the FZR a lot more. Unfortuantely, the FZR is a poor candidate for 2-up riding so this FJ and the FJR get the job when the bride is along for the ride.

The fender turned out very well and I think the paint match is a good one. Now, I have to take it all off so any spilled brake fluid won't injure the freshly painted parts.....

I was able to get my FZR out for two rides to work last week for a total of 200+ miles. She's running VERY WELL..... and fast as hell! I'm regularly blasting along the back roads at 140mph (for short bits).

FJ is looking good, albeit a while ago. I went abroad on my 3XW last year & did have the intention of going to Austria this year, had it not been for thevirus thingy getting in the way :angry:

But last year was fun for the two weeks & 2500 miles that we managed together

Maybe next year will we be able to enjoy the Continent again
