    Stainless Bolts for Brake Discs ( Sizes )

    Can anyone tell me what the bolt sizes / types are for the front and rear discs on my 2005 FJR1300A. I would normally go to the garage and whip one from the front and rear out and just measure them. Unfortunately due to an operation on my knee I'm laid up just now so can't get to the bike...

    Thanks Guys The compression & rebound dampening is equall on both sides. I'm probably leaning ( pardon the pun ) to the problem being with me. I had surgery on my left arm last year and maybe it's affecting me more than I thought. I'm no 7 stone weakling but maybe I'm over compensating with...

    Here's the issue. The bike feels like it wants' to dive/fall into right hand bends. Lefts are perfect and the bike feels rock solid but when I approach a right hander, whether it's a slow or a fast bend the bike just feels like it's not happy being there. Now this could be down to one of 2...
