    Lowering the FJR

    Art, the easiest way I found to lower the front end is to place the bike on the side stand. Loosen the lower brace on one fork then the top, raise the fork 1/2 inch and tighten the upper clamp, then the lower. Proceed with the other fork. I used a tape measure. The 1/2 inch is a guideline to...

    just got my R&G sliders for my Gen I

    Cheap, easy helmet lock (theft deterent)

    I use my saddlebag lock, turn the key to open, slide in the D ring, turn the lock back to closed. The idea was posted over a year ago and I have used it ever since. Helmet sits on top of the bag.

    lowered 7/8", what to expect?

    Mine has been lowered for two years. No issues and that's including a 9,000 mile trip through the Canada and the U.S. two-up. When crossing speed bumps, I raise myself on the pegs and traverse slowly, works for me. Changed my rear shock to a Hyperpro last fall, handles two-up weight much better...
