Hello everyone.  Thanks for admitting me.
 I am learning about the great FJ machine, since I am in the process of acquiring a very good unit, my childhood dream. I love air cooled I4.
 30 years ago I already had a used ' 89 XJ600, then a Bandit 600 SACS, Bandit 1250 and from '18, a DL1000 VStrom.
15 years ago, I rebuild a Sanglas 400E, that sold when my childs born.
So, now, they are teens, and my old bike dream will come true.

Thanks a lot.

Banditbilbo,

Welcome.  Have a seat, relax, and join the campfire.  Let us know which year you find, and we may have some help for it.  Europe has an active FJ following as well, both on-line and with social media.  They should also be helpful to you there.
Best wishes.
Cheers,
Red

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.

Hi.
Thanks.
The unit is a wonderful 1TX from year '87, with gorgeous full fairing, in white&red, 100% original. Only two owners and 53000kms.

Pics will be there as soon as the lady will be at my garage.
Due to holidays, I need to wait up to august last week to fullfill payment and docs.
