[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1168643, member: 27619"] What is the confusion? Upside-down forks pretty much always work better than regular forks. They are also more difficult, and more expensive to make. They reduce the unsprung weight a lot, making the steering much more responsive and direct. They give the front suspension an easier time, and they are more rigid, further improving both steering response and accuracy of the suspension. They should help put the "sport" into "sports-touring", even though the FJR is still a bit porky alongside a full sports bike. [/QUOTE]
