Regrettably, I have to pass, after all. As of this last weekend, I was all set to finally make one of these things, but now my college-age daughter needs some help with a few things, so plans for this weekend have been altered. Was really hoping to see a sea of FJRs and, in particular, see if a...

Don't mark me down as confirmed yet as I may unfortunately have a conflict that weekend, but I hope I don't and would like to attend if not. I don't have anything I need to do to the bike, but would love to see a sea of FJRs and, even more, would like to sit on one with a Laam if possible...my...

To be honest, I don't know...they fit my Gen 3 / 4, but don't know about earlier generations. My strong suspicion is yes, but I can't say with absolute certainty. That said, they are now sold. If something w/ the deal falls through, though, RaceDr, I'll be sure to get ahold of you.

Like-new HVMP polished black Extra-Heavy Bar End Weights. Bought these three weeks ago from a member at the Other Forum, and have decided they're just not for me as I no longer believe vibrations are my issue. Many folks swear by 'em, and Brian at Two Wheel Obsession did an interesting video to...

I'm going to go against the prevailing wind here and echo the statement above. If your present bike is running great, I'd stick with it. You don't know what problems may (or, sure, may not) be hiding in the '09. You do know that it's almost a decade old, and you know that someone chose to get...

I forgot to close the survey and a few more responses have come in since my last update on 3/30/18, so while I have now closed the survey for additional responses, I wanted to give a final, final tally of the six fields. I won't provide images of the graphs this time around...for whatever...

Add me to the list of those who have not reupped their subscription to the new coffee-table-like, picture-heavy, hipster versions of both Motorcyclist and Cycle World. The latest edition of Motorcyclist, which its aforementioned articles on Riding on Weed and other nonsensical stuff, was the...

I wish some manufacturer would make a Smuggler-like injected-molded and painted covering for the back seat area, but without regard to worries about storage and sealing, etc....all the issues that presumably accounts for some of the trunk's cost (setting aside Corbin's usual gouging)...just some...

Unless you're in Washington State or Florida (which fortunately the OP is not, but thought I'd mention this for other Washingtonians and Floridians). I spoke to D&H a half-month or so ago as my warranty is expiring in a week or so, and it turns out WA State and Florida are the two states that...

...and here is that last update. Thanks again to those who participated; the final tally is 30 respondents. Not much change from last time, with one exception. Guess that goes to show that the ongoing results throughout the survey were relatively consistent, which suggests the recipe shown...

The survey now has 25 respondents, so I thought an update is called for. I'll let the survey go another week or so and if there is an additional contingent that votes and changes the results, I will report back one last time. Here are the current results. They are the same as the previous...

If we're not off on a July 4th holiday trip, I'm in. I'll have perhaps the easiest need of all...just need someone with a torque wrench, so as to move my bars with GenMar 1" risers from the middle position to the rear-most position (which is where it was supposed to be...the dealer who...

Good point; it would be ideal to limit it to a specific Generation. However, I was aware to some degree that the suspension settings may vary slightly from Generation to Generation due to later upgrades in quality design and parts, but I didn't want to do three (or two, Gen I & II and Gen. III)...

I appreciate the clarification; what you describe was not my assumption of the adjustment. I'm just getting started on this whole suspension trek, and still have much to learn. This survey was designed to, I hope, help folks like me that need a bit of experienced guidance, and clarifications...

In the one day this has been up, the survey has received 18 respondents. Here is the outcome thus far...if the survey receives 25 total responsdents, I'll reevaluate for any changes and report back. A couple notes of interest: 1). the mode of the range for front preload is 2 lines, which I...

We currently have 14 respondents...it'd be great to get a bigger (and presumably more accurate) sampling, so if you're considering participating, please do...I'll post interim results tonight.

I would agree that would increase context, but there are simply too many variables (weight, riding style, age of shocks, etc.) like that to incorporate and still have a basic, workable *generalized* survey where an apples-to-apples comparison can be made. The best that can be done for something...

Thanks, Ignacio. I made sure to SurveyMonkey, a well-known site that I'd used before for other matters with no issues, to hopefully quell whatever privacy/phishing/etc. concerns folks might have for visiting an external poll. In my experience, it's about as safe as it gets in that regard...

Since I'm just getting into the art of suspension tweaking, I figured I'd create a 5-question poll at SurveyMonkey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/R2DNWYM It appears to be working the way that I'd hoped, where the resultant percentages are linked to responses. It's free, it's anonymous, etc...

Didn't even think of those, but, yes, absolutely, especially those first three!
