    2k worth of performance/handling mods?

    Thanks for all the thoughts. At this point, I think I'm looking at the 2 bike route. So, a nice used FJR for the wife and me...and something else for me alone. I've started poking around for used gen2 FJRs as I want ABS on the wife-bike. Not gonna go for a used C14, as the pre-2010 models...

    First of all, I apologize if there's a thread that already has this info. I poked around with the search engine for an hour or so and couldn't seem to find it. Maybe I need remedial search class. Basically, I'm trying to choose between the C14 and the FJR. Yes, I did see all the comparo...
