[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 939049, member: 151"] I know a few who have lowered their FJRs and none have reported serious issues with handling. I wouldn't think you'd have a problem with dragging hard parts unless you are really aggressive while cornering. Once you modify the seat ($$$) and if that doesn't work it will cost you more ($$$) to return it to OEM unless you buy a second seat to have modified. I know that Kasey rides an '03 and had the front of her seat modified (IIRC, lowered an inch or so). Links would certainly be a cheaper method and easily changed back of you're not happy. I would think you might find a used set, perhaps on ebay. If you do go with links, the problems mentioned above will apply: The kickstand will need to be modified (either bent "out" or shortened) and putting the bike on the center stand may require help.
