Has anyone successfully added a steering stabilizer to the FJR. I have the 06 and would like to add the stabilizer to the steering. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Was wondering why you feel you need one?Has anyone successfully added a steering stabilizer to the FJR. I have the 06 and would like to add the stabilizer to the steering. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Save your money, you won't feel any difference. If you do seem to feel something, more than likely you are hiding a problem not correctly something.Welcome the forum.
Nice picture of a Colorado pass.
I have been looking at adapting Scott's R1 offering for my '06A. But it will be a winter activity and only if the money holds out.

I couldn't agree more. This bike should not need a stabilizer. I would confirm all other possible issues are fixed first.Save your money, you won't feel any difference. If you do seem to feel something, more than likely you are hiding a problem not correctly something.Steering head bolt loose, tires out of balance, not the correct psi in tire, bearings etc.
The fjr is rock solid all the way to its limit.
If you look enough on this forum you will see many reports from guys that have pushed the fjr to it 156 or so limit and have reported stable.
Just my 2cents...
Man, you sure are smug about how special your FJR is. :lol: "Mr. 1 in 100" :lol:Can ya smell the smugness in this thread?
All you "my FJR is perfect" guys crack me up, telling us the Feej don't need no steering damper, yet you spend thousands on other mods to make it "just right!"
Unfortunately, I didn't get the "perfect" FJR that you guys did. I'm one of the 1 out of 100 FJR pilots whose bike wobbles at certain speeds.
As I've written on this subject in other threads, I've had the opportunity to ride 4 different FJRs since I started my search to buy one a year ago. Every one of those four, an '03, two '05s, and the '04 I eventually made my own, experienced a front wheel/fork assembly "oscillation" around 48-50mph.
So while you guys with the "perfect" FJRs can unequivocally state that the FJR doesn't need a steering damper, I can unequivocally state that 100% of all FJRs I've ever driven indeed DO need steering dampers.
Now as to MY FJR -- 3 different brands of tires...correctly torqued steering head bearings...a multitude of different suspension settings. It wobbles. Plain and simple. Bags or not. Full tank or not. Pick your air pressure. Sit up close to the tank. Slide back from the tank. Wear a copper bracelet and power-crystal necklace. It wobbles. Not enough to throw the bike into a tank slapper, but a steering damper would get MY FJR closer to the smug perfection that you jackholes enjoy. Maybe 1 out of every 100 built gets a nice twist in the frame before delivery.
Of course, I think those of you putting satellite radios on YOUR FJRs are just a bunch of spoiled pussies.
There's your warthog titties.
:fuck:

There ya go again...thinking when it's not necessary.Hmmmmm..... I'm thinking it's not the bike.
Hey, I'll gladly trade you my 1 in 100 wobbler for your 99 in 100 "perfect" FJR.Man, you sure are smug about how special your FJR is. :lol: "Mr. 1 in 100" :lol:
