    something interesting with my FJR

    I started riding again 6 years ago, after a very long hiatus (life called). my first bike was a 2005 KLR. people would look at me with that "hey!! is that a ginormous dirt bike?!?!" look. it didn't bother me, cuz, well, it IS a ginormous dirt bike... i traded that for a DL1000 V-strom. it...

    09 lowered too low for me

    hi all, i just got an 09 FJR A, and the PO lowered it by 1 inch. 1 inch doens't seem too bad, you say? well, i can't get her up on the center stand and the side stand now balances her at a precarious angle. the shop has the original dog bones, but has to order the springs. no biggie...
