[QUOTE="GeorgiaRoller, post: 935919, member: 27791"] Looks totally stock. They are nice cruisers with good HP and Torque. I sold mine before I got the FJR. But they like to break clutch cables (common issue) and when you get about 30,000 miles on them the second gear likes to go (becoming a common issue). Also mine developed clutch shudder at about 15,000 miles (common issue). So they're nice powerful V-Twin muscle cruisers but I don't have a lot confidence in the long term reliability of them and Suzuki won't admit that there is an issue with them. They are NOT high mileage bikes like the FJR! They have too much torque for the stock hollow tube shift forks that Suzuki puts in them. Would be a nice change of pace bike for Sunday afternoon cruises is about it as a second bike. Not trying to rain on your parade for selling this for your buddy...I'm just being honest about what I know about these bikes since I rode one for 2yrs. My friends 06 M109R is needing a new 2nd gear put in. Your talking $2000 if you do it yourself and about $3500 if a dealer does it for you. :blink: [/QUOTE]
