[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 201335, member: 151"] You have to make your own decision. In the end, you are the one writing the check and having to look in our garage. Vibration? Yes, there is the 4-cyl. harmonic. Most owners who are sensitive to it use heavier bar-end weights and larger grips (like Hush Puppies foam grips installed over the stockers). It can be ameliorated but not eliminated..IF you are sensitive to it. I have the beginnings of Carpal Tunnel and my right wrist bothers me occaisionally so I use a throttle lock so I can remove my hand and stretch my wrist. I am now on my second FJR because I am able to ease the issue [I]for me[/I]. [I] Edit: If vibrations are that big an issue for you then your decision is made. The ST is rumored to be butter-smooth. Your issue will then become heat management.[/I] Good luck on whatever you buy. I modified every bike I've owned because of "some" issue. Its all about the ride and the smiles. [/QUOTE]
