Fri, 4 Sep 2009 08:33:43 -0700 (PDT)
This dropped into my in-box, from my eBay searches
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190332805141

Unobtanium obtained!!!
Fri, 4 Sep 2009 14:04:47 +0100
Fuel tap assemblies for my FJ1100 have been unavailable from Yamaha for many
years (the FJ1200s don't have the same sadly) Even the FJ owners club can't
get them. Rebuild kits were produced in the '80s but *not* been easy to find
since early '90s. Secondhand FJ1100 fuel taps are almost certain to have one

Alternator Rewinding?
Wed, 2 Sep 2009 13:20:35 +0100
Right, for a possible highly secret forthcoming winter trip I don't
think the R100RS standard alternator 230W is going to cut the mustard,

Akuma Phantom II MFR Helmet Review
Wed, 2 Sep 2009 04:15:08 -0700 (PDT)

UV resistant clear coat). For complete Product Review check out
