Hi from a new member based in Oxfordshire UK.  Been riding FJs since 1994 and currently have a '88 3CV and a '93 3XW.  I have removed the ABS from the 3XW and fitted a 4:1 exhaust, blue spot front callipers progressive front springs and a Hagon rear shock.  Currently rebuilding the 3CV as an unfaired Desert Sledge/Scrambler to ride in Africa.  TDM 850 18" Front wheel and forks, XJR1200 yoke, Renthal bars,18" rear wheel from FZR 1000 Genesis, 10 row oil cooler, Hagen rear shock adjustable dog bones.
