You're going with the upsized rotors, calipers, pads and backing plates from the 93+ years right?
That's correct - backing plates are in good condition thankfully, as they're NLA to my understanding.

just bought some from partsouq recentlyThe 93+ backing plates are nla and hard to find used. I decided to retain my OEM brakes. I don't swap rear rotors often for it to matter and pads are the same as the usdm.

Thank you!Subscribed!
Great looking cruiser. I thought mine was low KM's (206k when I bought it), but yours is just a baby!
Do you have any documentation from Japan to confirm the mileage is legit?
Why did you remove the rear spoiler? I've been looking for one Do you still have it?
Cheers!

I used a broker based in Japan to pull the original auction report and history. While the information was limited, he was able to determine no accidents, no mileage anomalies, and that the hood was resprayed the factory color.
I removed the spoiler simply in favor of a cleaner look. That, and I'll probably add a roof rack relatively soon. I don't have it anymore, but do have the sunroof wind deflector if you're interested.
Yes...93+ backing plates?
Yes...

original poster, if you dont mind me asking, what did you pay originally for the HDJ81 in Tokyo to purchase? and what did you pay to import?No major plans in the works at the moment while the 80 is hibernating for winter, but I did receive some Aussie goodies recently.
If you're looking at organization, I'm really digging these Crashpad canvas/vinyl "pods." Materials and stitching are excellent, beer for scale.

OP,
Nice rig, where is that off road park in WI? I checked out Rough Trax in the UK, they have everything! I am heading to the UK in early June to see family with my kids, I may have to stop in and see what their show room looks like. Watched for updates.
‘Spring and summer are around the corner.
