[QUOTE="Mr. BR, post: 1464897, member: 28246"] I did this mod 10 yrs ago and I absolutely love it and I had it done by the guy who has since passed. I simply did not like the gearing on my '05... always looking for another gear. Just my personal preference to have the engine spinning a little slower and the GEN1 bikes have the shortest gearing of all FJRs. GEN2 bikes have a different middle gear ratio (~2% taller) and the GEN3+ six speeds are completely different... but they all share the same FD ratio. Interestingly, the RSV guys like the FJR gears to INCREASE the revs by 10% which helps when heavily loaded/two up etc... Good luck to the OP! Mr. BR [/QUOTE]
