[QUOTE="Canadian FJR, post: 1411785, member: 1223"] The big question to Art, why do you want to make the change. What are you trying to achieve? On my old FJR (2003), I added a Barnett clutch conversion spring kit so my clutch would grab harder. At the time I rode with some very aggressive riders and used the FJR like a sport bike. There were times that the rear wheel would chatter under hard downshifts but it always engaged the way I wanted. Fast forward to the new 18 with the slipper clutch. Clutch lever is lighter and the rear wheel has never locked up, even on a track day. Personally, I see no need to do the slipper swap. Its nice to have on the new bike but I cant say that Ill ever use it to its fullest potential. I still feel that it may be part of the cause of the shifting issues I have experienced on the new bike.
