[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1417743, member: 3828"] This is all well and good but you didnt state what your goals are with this suspension change. You can spend a shit ton of money on new parts and end up with something worse for what you hope to do with the bike. Will you be riding the bike on a smooth track and want to improve your lap times? Or maybe you are riding it on the relatively pristine roadways of California, and want to zip around a bit better and not go over the rail on Mulholland? Or perhaps you are touring further north and east where road surfaces arent quite so predictable, and need some controlled compliance and adjustability. Or maybe you have designs on riding the parts of our country where frost heaves chew the crap out of our roads every winter and youd just like to get through them with your fillings intact. And then there are those of us who go off pavement on our FJRs too. Suspension, like most facets of life, is a compromise, to which there is no single correct answer. [/QUOTE]
