Nice work alf , have sort of missed having one since my gsx , got used to it after 9 years, , now just rely on seat if the pants and listen to what the engine tells me

That would be great if I could program what is displayed for a given gear. 1, N, 2, K(ookaloo), 4, X.... I keep reaching for 6 dammit!!!

[Alf]

Well, in fact is not much needed. fj11.5 is correct: you can drive the FJ in 5th all day long in a travel and in 3th in a curvy road, like in automatic
But looks good. I have to make another more clear pic, but the finish is "factory look"

I think I´m going to use more in my next yearly travel in Europe, when chasing traffic I´m always looking for 6th

Monkey majic and alf, you guys using 18/38 gearing,ive stopped searching for 6th gear since fitting them,,

How can I change my sproket so I don't break my toes shiffting to a nonexistant 6th gears.  (45k miles on a (new to me 89 fj1200)- runs like a bear) Max

Alf your idea of using solvent to make a window in the instrument face is brilliant, a very good job

Hello Alf
How did you do it?

Question. Where did you get those great looking fork caps ... ? I have seen them before on another local FJ but have been unable to locate any.

Agreed!
My 18/39 also has helped eliminate that pesky, non existant 6th gear!

Alf, your link doesn't seem to be working.

I'd like to read about your install.
