Had a front PR2 installed this morning. The rear 'Stone still has some life in it.

Very noticeable difference! The old BT felt like it was going to slide out. The PR2 feels much more stable.

edit-

Thought I'd relate some humor while at the shop. I did not remove the wheel (need to build a stand or get jacks and stuff), I took the bike and new PR2 to a non dealer MC repair shop. This was my first time there.

The shop is out in the sticks, in a derelict looking building on a gravel lot. I was told that the shop's owner is reputable and I was pleased with my experience today. The shop seems to work mostly on cruisers, ATVs and UJMs. The FJR appeared to be a novelty there.

Before I got my helmet and jacket off a few guys had approached and were looking at the FJR. Some comments:

"That's a beautiful bike."

"Wow, 1300cc, that must be real fast."

"That's a purty bike."

The owner's assistant said it 'looked like a Lear jet' in comparison to the other bikes there.

Damn, it was almost embarrassing. :D
