[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1463437, member: 19880"] I don't need to know how heavy, but I have seen a few generously proportioned 2-up couples on an FJR. Is the bike an "ES" (electronic suspension? - you may have limited options. I don't know if anyone has tried a stiffer spring. A custom aftermarket rear shock (Penske, Ohlins, etc.) shimmed and sprung for your weight (for an "A" model) can make a pretty good improvement. Aftermarket front fork internals (i.e. Traxxion AK20) will help too. Hard to tell for sure from your avatar photo, but it appears to be a 2014 "A" model... I have managed for 450,000 km on stock seats (on two FJRs) but many folks can't live without their aftermarket seats. A custom-made Russell seems to be the gold standard. Others like Laam, Sargent and even Corbin for some have their fans. Others out there as well - do a search on the forum for lots of discussion. Welcome from eastern Canada. [/QUOTE]
