[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 1088075, member: 15488"] To add to everyone's feedback, I have the Heli risers. I believe the Gen II Heli and MCL brand risers should fit the 2013. The Heli made a big difference, but after trying Auburn's MCL, I would do the MCL next time around, as it positions the bars that much higher up and farther back than the Heli. Not a ton, but the extra 1/2-1 inch or so was more comfortable than the Heli. I have the Russell and can't imagine a better LD seat. I also have the Canyon cages and Garuald pegs. They work and put your legs out a bit farther off the sides of the bike then using standard pegs in the usual mounting location (lower and forward of the stock pegs). What I like about them is that they don't force your legs to angle in. Lastly, while I would do the suspension mods Auburn mentioned because they completely transform the FJR in the twisties, I wonder how they'd work for LD riding if that is your main pursuit. It's pretty firm over stock, and not being an LD rider myself, I don't know what kind of setup is preferred for LD riding. [/QUOTE]
