    When I bought the FJR the first thing my wife said was " one step away from a Goldwing".

    Suspension recommendations

    I highly recommend Curtis from California Suspension Works. He is an avid rider and also owns an FJR. He will fit you and the bike as one. https://californiasuspensionworks.com/index.asp

    New Sport Bike

    I heard that the Triumph Rocket 3 is actually faster than a Busa in the quarter mile. It handles for crap but in a straightline it's the shit. How accurate the statement I heard I cannot confirm. Does anyone have any knowledge to this?

    GRIPS

    Need help with brake testing 06-07

    I got my bike back on Friday from Galfer. I did some test runs to check the brakes and under normal operating conditions the stock and Galfer brakes work about the same. Under hard braking or emergency stopping I feel that the Galfer brakes work much better. The bike really bites and sticks to...

    Need help with brake testing 06-07

    The whole braking situation came up when Galfer Brake Systems borrowed my bike to make stainless steel braided brake lines. They did the swap and during testing found the issue mentioned in the first post. The question is not about correct braking procedure but if someone were to brake hard on...

    I will be meeting with the people from Galfer tomorrow to see what can be sorted out. I will let them see what you all have written and go from there. Thanks for the input.

    This is what we've found strange, it could be as they say part of the "beast", we know that in many automotive owner's manuals they suggest NOT double pump brake systems. This is what I ask some of the guys re-do: -Get on the bike up to speed, 40 to 50 miles per hour. On a straight line...
