Don't give up on the ol' girl!
Here's some inspiration for you....This is my girlfriend's '85 FJ600. Purchased from the original owner about 5 years ago with a stack full of service records, receipts, owners manual, tool kit...even a set of genuine Yamaha saddle bags that are color matched!
Amazing bike and fast as hell. It was the world's fastest 600cc production bike in 1985.
Check out xjbikes.com . Good forums for these bikes (the FJ was an XJ in Europe and the engine is basically the same as many of the other XJ models).
Also, you mentioned something about the bars.... Did you know you can swap in a Radian top triple tree? It has risers and you can run almost any handlebar, then.
