Welcome, I'm interested to know how the FJ project will develop!

A friend of mine has one (which I've ridden) but it needs some work. The chain is in pretty bad shape and it has a way bigger tyre than it should on the back, so the handling in corners is weird as hell (I almost crashed it the first time I rode it through a "real corner"). When you start leaning, the bike hits a point where it jerks you upright then quickly leans past that point, the first time it scared the hell out of me!

I'v put it on hold untill i come back from holidays, i need to spend a little dosh on my c90 too for it to pass a mot.

Mine handled like a pig. the rear shocker was shock so no rebound, it used to bounce all over in the corners.

I feel scammed. I went to view a tall guy on a small bike, what do I see? a BIG bike!

You can clearly see at about 9:03 what I was saying... It starts leaning, jerks me straight then leans again, almost shit my pants :lol:
