[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 89138, member: 151"] I cam4e from a Concours with Progressive front springs and before that I had a cruiser. First, the FJR has brakes that are a vast improvement over my last bikes and because I am primarily front brake user, considering the weight of this bike and the ease of brake squeeze:speed reduction, there is a lot of weight transfer. I am currently at 250# and most of us er, uhm, heavyweight riders have found is that, as mentioned above, we have to add at least 1 line of preload to the front. IIRC, my forks are currently: Preload, 2nd line (factory= 3rd line from the top). +2 clicks of compression, +2 clicks of rebound (both after finding "neutral/center"). Read the owners manual for information on how to adjust the settings. Mine gives me a lot more feedback than the "touring mode" it came with. It's all part of the fun. [/QUOTE]
