[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1243341, member: 87479"] My first road bike was a nighthawk. That one got exploded by an elderly driver. I did not test ride the FJR prior to purchase. First vehicle I've ever purchased without driving/riding. If I had, I would not have bought it, and that would have been a shame. I decided not to let a test drive interfere with my exahustive research. I wasn't familiar with modding a bike to make it work out. As delivered, the bike was (for me) damn near unrideable for any significant length of time. 5 million questions here and a couple of months later, a helibridge, cee bailey, and some suspension tweaks and I was off to the races, so to speak. Just added MCL lowering brackets and I couldn't be more pleased with the bike. I run with bags and top case pretty much all the time. I can't fit my helmets in either of them, but I don't have that need normally. You can tell a difference without the bags and top case, but the bike handles and feels great, at speed and in the twisties, with all the bags on. [/QUOTE]
