    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My new (old) sport tour I just bought. 1985 FJ1100.....
I have been looking for the right 1983 GS1100ES, but nothing came up that I wanted, and I need a long distance sporty bike for the next summer. I've always read good things about the FJ1100/1200, and I like the style. This one is mint, under 25,000 miles, 100 total miles on a complete HP rebuild. Has a 1315cc kit, Carrillo rods, pump gas, head is ported with oversized valves, pipe and silencer, transmission has upgraded 2nd gear and shift fork, billet clutch basket with new clutch kit, upgraded ignition, 40mm RS flat slide carbs, new Performance Machine 17" wheels with fresh rubber, PM front brakes and SS lines, Works Performance rear shock, forks are rebuilt with Progessive springs. Just a nice bike. And, the best part, 167 HP to the wheel on the dyno..... Will be driving out to Michigan from Seattle to pick it up.

Back in the day our crew had GSs, GPZs, Hurricanes, KZs and one guy had an FJ. I always liked his bike. I casually looked for one myself a few years back but never bought one. Nice bike!
 
Sounds very nice. The FJ 1100 or 1200, has always been on my, I think would like to have one list. Like other muscle bikes, most have been abused to death, & the few nice ones that are found are very expensive. A few yrs. back, the performance upgrades & 167 HP would have been really nice, today the 2nd gear upgrade & the pump gas is the things that caught my eye. Hey, looks like you did good, congrats.
 
Beautiful looking bike, and even more of power house. I'm shocked that an FJ1100 can get that sort of HP number on the dyno. Man are you driving a long way to get the bike too, Seattle to Michigan?? wow...
