I have a set of Honda CBR600 F3 cartridges on my '92 FJ, the conversion courtesy of Jon Cain.
Long overdue after about 15k miles, I finally got around to changing out the oil. Wowser! Unbelievable!
The old 7.5w 125/150 Golden Spectro cartridge oil had the consistency of water...

A lot of shear going on down there. Amazing.

Cheers!
