[QUOTE="Fontanaman, post: 1289300, member: 19354"] I upgraded to the GP front end and a Penske outback. Best thing I ever did to my FJR. Like you I have an 09. Yes it is expensive and even more so with the exchange rate. I had mine installed by KFG Racing in Auburn who bought out GP Suspension. Is this worth it? Ah like you I tried to justify the stock suspension then road a friend's 09 with the GP/Penske setup. The difference is night and day. He said it was like the bike was on rails and he is right. Just fricking awesome. Gotta ride it to believe it. Words to not suffice. The stock 09 suspension SUCKs! Alternatively you could update to a Gen III and you may find like some the Gen III suspension suits your needs. Gen III has a better spring in the rear. Not sure about the front but folks at the Tech Day know or somebody will respond to this opinion, after all it is the FJR forum! Hope to see you at Tech Day in Auburn Wa. [/QUOTE]
