Hi, I'm currently in love with my Honda - but she is too big and heavy for me (unless we are moving at anything over a few mph). But, as I get older, sooner or later I will have to downsize a bit. I ride with a BMW club, swap lies with Guzzistas, and really enjoy the STOC crowd. I have a '77 T3 that I want to get back on the road this summer, and I just put a Shorai battery in my ST1300, replacing the Yuasa AGM. The ST is my primary ride. This summer I've been to a Guzzi Rally, an STOC event, and will be going to the RA rally in Pennsylvania in July, as well as our BMW club's weekly rides and other events.
Hopefully I can learn from all you guys about the FJ so I don't end up with a bike that doesn't fit my needs. I'm the sort of fellow who likes to research something before I jump in - unpleasant surprises are exactly that - and unwelcome to boot. What am I looking for here? What are the maintenance 'issues' the FJ is known to have?; What are the accessories everyone adds?; What is involved in servicing the bike?*; What aftermarket accessories are available? I expect to search the threads and toss in my .02, ask questions and enjoy the conversation.
