Default New member has questions about 84 FJ1100

Hi.
I've just picked up an '84 FJ1100 that is in very, very rough shape. Its missing the fuel selector in the fairing. I've picked up the service manual but it doesnt seem to be listed. Does anyone have a picture of one? Does it just select between regular and reserve?
Thanks, Lou

Welcome to the forum Lou. Start up your own thread and this way someone will be able to help you quicker as well as help someone else that might have this same problem later down the line.

Default XS400 project rider

Heyo!!! I'm Grafton, local to Ohio. Found my XS400 in a garage about 15 years ago and finally got around to putting it back together. It's ALMOST ready to ride, but I've been poking around forums trying to find the last couple things I need to make it a truly sweet bike. Lookin' forward to some road time!
