[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1323948, member: 434"] The ESA works with both front and back so it's a system and not exclusively on inverted forks. And I can't see you lifting out a whole ESA system and making them work with just the front conventional forks. And going to inverted without ESA exlusvely for unsprung weight is an assumption that the FJR market focuses on that singular issue. Really a pointless exercsie IMO..... Regardless, historical context suggests more to do with supply chain and market forces and talked about many, Many, MANY times--particularly in the 2014 New FJR thread. I suggest you go back and read it if you want a deeper understanding of the evolution of FJR models. Short version is 2013 was a major model redo with conventional suspension and rumors of ESA, 2014 had an optional ESA model with a relatively limited production run, and 2015 more ESA were available. I think this tends to reinforce the point about scarcity, demand, and/or marketing. [/QUOTE]
