I have a 08' and put 50k miles on the OEM, picked up a Penske 8900 on ebay for $400, spent $450 at the Penske lab to re sprung and such with all the right goodies. It had a 400# spring, they sent me one with a 900# spring and it's tall. Huge difference in the ride. I just didn't know how worn...

Maybe repeated somewhere, but not to my knowledge. MY REVIEW IS: I purchased some FZ1 mirrors to put on my 08' a year ago. They fit fine and gave wonderful visibility over the stock mirrors on the FJR....(Everyone knows that) Well went the version from China (FZ1 replacement) they were...

Wow! Great deal. Have a set only 3k miles, and they are very solid. The 023's were slightly squirrely but the gt's are really firm and a good ride. Good traction in rain too.

Speaking from The Club experience, it's nothing like getting back on, restoring those muscle twitch fibers back in sync with the bike. Keep the rehab going.

It's one of the five bucket list rallies to go to this year. After Sturgis a couple times, I decided I want to see and experience them all. So I will be heading down that way for the Thur-Sat. I definitely want to check out the vendors and specialty rides. Have to prepare myself that there...

Congrats on new bike!

Well being one of those having to had rods put in my malleolus, I ride only with MC specific boots. Ankle protection is important, it not the sliding on your side as much as the rolling of the ankle if you have even a slow speed get off. Wouldn't go less than a 3/4 boot to get that solid ankle...

I have the comparo Shorai, and since I did the mod with the wiring harness, it performs admirably. As I am in DC and get home to ride every couple weeks, never had a problem with it sitting for weeks and just firing right up. Even with the drop in temps it has fired up on the first try.

Looks good, darn I need a XXXL, sm-Lg available.

LMAO

Have to come back to this in a few months. I am installing the BT023 GT's on Front and Back this weekend with new rear shock. Gonna take some riding to give good feedback. Replacing the non GT, BT023 which was solid. Front cupped badly at 6k Rear showing very good at 9k, little squirrely on...

Well, Totally excited now. The Penske Shock Saga.......well vision purchase. Took the 8983 Penske and shipped directly to Penske. Trax-Dyn is a super nice guy, but was kind of busy and this thing required a lot of reworking as stated by member. To Penske it went. Nice guys as...

That ES shock, with all those electrical adjusting wiring.....Not normally the skeptic, but that's a lot to go wrong, or tinker with. Beautiful bike. I think I like it without the ES.

Cancel...found pic from tech pages....couldn't delete this.

Probably so, however it's cheaper to rebuild this one to needed spec than start off with 1k off the bat. Spring can easily be replaced, talking to Penske not much difference in this model from bike to bike. It's a aftermarket shock.

Just picked up the Penske 2 way adj. w/remote reservoir off Ebay 8900 series , PO used it on a 07 Kawa zx10r on Track only. I have a FJR 08' I am anxious to get it and put it on, hopefully I won't have to change the spring. He and I are about 50lbs diff. Me to the heavier side, but a...

Very good write up. My 08 @ 49k is diving quite a bit, even with fresh fork oil. Rear never been serviced. Thanks

Nice z Really Nice!

Bike has Sold!

Much Thanks for posting on the Kaw Forum. Yes the heat was one of her issues... (only when stopped); of course she rides in jeans, but that's the nature of V-twin world I suppose. I listed it on Ebay today as well. She is keen on the Red V-strom and now I am glaring at the Red FJR...WOW! and...
