Not sure about the next project Mark65.The CB125T2 is still waiting in the wings for that final effort to complete.Or maybe I will make a start on the XR400SM as the camchain is rattling a bit and the frame is in need of some TLC.

Thank you for the comments everyone.Riding around Europe after the rebuild put a massive smile across my old face several times Thumbs Up Very Happy Thumbs Up

Glad it rides well, I was a tad concerned it would handle badly after both jacking up the back end AND fitting a larger rear wheel. Effectively raising the back end by 30mm.

A company in France do fibreglass pattern fairings for them. Need painting and bracketry fabricating. Got one on my VFR750, they are pretty tough.

I was not sure how things would go with the jack up plates and the Exup back wheel and I am really pleased that it handles as well as it does Very Happy

As for the French fairing company,the idea of twin Cibie Z beams up front on the FJ is very appealing Thumbs Up Very Happy Thumbs Up

What a fantastic thread with great info on pulling it apart. I hope my 3XW isn’t as bad when I start to pull it apart, but I know who to contact if I run int trouble. 😉

Drop me the number of the Powdercoaters as I’m not far from there and looks like they did a good job 👍🏻

Cheers Duffy
