[WessFJ]

Hey guys lets see the pics and the talk later Wes

[Kingofdacoast]

Love the FJ's. My first 2 bikes were a FJ600 and then moved up to the FJ1200. Lost all my pics in Katrina.

Pics of my 89 FJ1200 I started taking to the strip a couple of years ago. Best runs were 10.7's @ 124 at Bandimere last summer - DA was over 7500'!

Have an 84 FJ1100 going together as a strip only bike. This one should be much quicker. No pics yet...

How bout pics of your project?

Not got FJ but XJR1300 , i see you have USDs on as well they look very low is bike strapped down or have you shorten springs or something dont look to be very much travel


Thanks

Hi Tezz

Yes, it is strapped in the pics - I leave about an inch of travel. The back is lowered with home made 2 position dog bones. The "street" position raises the rear about 5 inches over this height.

Post up pics of that sweet XJR you have!

[Tezzuk]

serious arm , what are the plans for the rest of bike

[WessFJ]

Hello Tezzuck im runnin a 1380 kit 40 rs carbs lockup clutch dyna 2000 been looking for a nice set of cams and a quick acess clutch cover for the 1380 have a few other motors that have been in the bike 1250 1314 Wes

Hi wes

I look forward to reading the progress of the build as almost identical engin to mine, esp the lock up and cases as this is something i may have to do but have been putting off , i did post about clutch but i probley should have posted it hear , would appricate if ya had a read let me know what you think

I looked at 1380 kit but either we have some very bad engineers in uk or they def have a weak point in kit with barrels , last 3 ive read about all cracked inbetween cylinders yet dosent seam to be a problem with the 1314 kits , 1 1380 was blowing head and base gasket like theres no tommoro and these were just road bikes never raced all XJRs in UK , I dont think it an engin problem as quite a few XJRs on stock engins and run a decent amount of gass , im on a 100 shot (WON) and just seen few more installs this year runing 60- 80 shots (NOS)

LOL tracks should open in UK by july for our 1 week of summer and i can finally see if my New electrics i had built work with shifter

Keep the info and pics coming

Thanks
