[QUOTE="carlson_mn, post: 900450, member: 17400"] Nice review! Interestingly some Gen1s are hotter than others. I never had heat issues on my Gen1 unless it was over 90 degrees. I enjoyed my stock seat also - send it to Spencer ($75) and he will make it even better and it seriously reduced the butt burn I used to get after 4 hours. Stock shock really isn't that bad but it does compress too much. I went with a Wilbers, waiting to get it into my Gen2 now. Sometimes the liter bike guys I ride with were surprised when I showed up on another FJR and thought I'd get a sportbike "the way I ride" - but I tell them hey if I'm keeping up with you on the FJR and leaving half the rest behind why sacrifice everything else? The FJR can go pretty dang quick on public roads, and I can pack my gear and lunch in it and commute daily and she keeps me warm on the 40 degree mornings this month. If you can get a hold of a Rifle tuning block and use that with the stock windshield you will be in bliss, especially if you like to ride sporty. Makes every position better. [/QUOTE]
