Well, with life a changin, I've decided to put my HDJ81 up for sale. Most of the info is in the FB listing.

I'm not sure I'm totally there yet, but I'd be willing to consider it. Been thinking about selling mine for a while. Don't necessarily want to, but I have a kid now and with the amount of long range trips we do, I just really want the peace of mind of being able to find whatever parts I need...

Right on! If you're that close I might just come up there and see what else you got. I'm at the Petit Le Mans for the weekend but I'll hit you up when I'm back in town.

Still lookin

Do you have the small fixed window on the right rear door?

I know this is probably a long shot, but maybe someone has a busted/wrecked JDM 80 that they are parting out somewhere. Someone decided the bundled up tarp in the back of mine looked like it was hiding something valuable(it wasn't) and busted out the small fixed window on my right rear door. I...

Wanted: 4 80 series center caps. Just want them to be in good structural condition. No cracks. Aside from that don't care too much about the condition or what they look like. They are going to be repainted. Will pay for shipping if needed.

For the record in case anyone searches for this same thing in the future... "Late" 1992 HDJ81's do have the standard 93+ rear brakes.

Getting ready to do some brake work on my rig and trying to get confirmation on what discs are on a late 1992 HDJ81. Are these the same as older HDJ's that can be upgraded to US size discs, or do I have the same discs as every other 93+ 80?

Indeed!

Spending the day at the airfield with my buddy cleaning my cruiser and cleaning his Stinson.

More Central Washington exploration this weekend. Had a great weekend of camping and crawling around in a sea of scrubland.

Any of my fellow HDJ owners find a good, somewhat affordable option for mounting devices like phones/tablets/GPS to the "Oh **** handle" in front of the passenger seat on the dash? I've tried a couple cheap Amazon options but nothing seems to fit around it quite right.

Another trip out to Frenchman Coulee this weekend. This time with very non-wintery weather and temps.

Just stopping for some Panda Express after a long day in the Cascades playing in both mud and snow.
