[QUOTE="steve'o', post: 1140479, member: 27195"] Ok it's almost Friday, so you can make this a NERPT if need be. My question is regarding the rear suspension on the FJR. I've read many posts of members changing their tired old rear suspension for new aftermarket suspension, which costs big $$$. What makes the OEM rear suspension so bad, is it the spring, the shock, or a combination of both? I am by far not a really aggressive rider, and don't try to hang with the "Big Boys". I consider myself a decent rider, and I do like the twisties as well as a spirited romp on the highway. So, I've been told by a local dealership, that the rear OEM suspension is re-buildable and they can mount a stiffer spring and replace the shock rod,etc for under $500. A new aftermarket set up depending what type will run me minimum $800 all the way up to $1300. Any input would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
