Oh, don't be so hard on your self. Its sort of funny and I'm a little smarter today because of you. I'm guessing you don't hear that every day. I now know what the definition of rebus is.
If you have your front suspenders adjusted right, does your FJR still dive? If so, you may want to look at replacing components.... Which makes me wonder. (Stirring the pot a little here) My 86 Venture Royale has anti dive forks. Is there a reason that is no longer used? Did not work well, expense or what? Or does the 16 incorporate this in some way I have not found out yet?
Last question first....NO. I had a 84 and 89 Venture Royale, ST1100, and GL1800....all of which had anti dive forks attached to very weak front springs. I didn't feel the anti dive was a positive or negative, couldn't tell it did much of anything, but the track guys thought it was a bad idea. I much prefer heavier springs to anti dive forks, both for handling and braking.Which makes me wonder. (Stirring the pot a little here) My 86 Venture Royale has anti dive forks.

It only slips when it's supposed to, it's magic.Wonder how well a slipper clutch works when pulling a trailer.......?
Good to see that you finally made it to the party...OMG! A 6th gear!??YAAAAAAAAWN. .
No,no,no.Personally, I think the extra weight of that 6th speed pinion is not worth the marginal improvement in MPG. You're carrying that extra 2 or 3 pounds around for every single mile ....
I don't think that's a very useful measuring technique..... I measure that somewhat by the amount of twist required to maintain a speed. ...
If you think carrying around 2-3 extra pounds will negate the 6th gear MPG gain, then you may want to think about losing 5 lbs of body weight and really gain some MPG!!Personally, I think the extra weight of that 6th speed pinion is not worth the marginal improvement in MPG. You're carrying that extra 2 or 3 pounds around for every single mile ....
