My local Yamaha dealer "Santa Clarita Mortorsports" just installed the Heli Triple tree and riser kits.
It made my bike so comfortable and the handling improved 100% better. With the new riser, I was able to sit up straight and elbows bent.
I rode about 100 miles without any back pain. With the stock setup, It was very hard to ride even 50 miles.
I also test rode my improved FJR in Police Motor training cone pattern without any problem. Prior to the upgrade, it was very hard to do the Police Cone Patterns.
The improved FJR handles good as my trusty KZ1000P police bike and better than my formal BMW R1100RTP police bike.
In addition, yesterday a group of French Motor Officer visited my department (LAPD) at Davis Training Center with their French Police FJR1300As'. Several LAPD motor officers were invited to test ride French FJR's. My officers were very impressed with the power and handling. The French officers were impressed with our officers' ability to ride their bike in such tight pattern without prior FJR experience. One of the test rider asked me whether he can test ride my bike. He liked the new handle bar height compare to the stock height and new straight up riding position compare to slightly forward stock position. By the way, the new setup changed the look of the whole bike. I hope Yamaha will learn from our inputs and implement in future bikes.
My search to a perfect off duty police bike is over. As soon as new paint scheme get done at Rock and Roll paint shop in Orange, I will install all the goodies for the future off duty job details. I have several officers asking me to borrow my bike for their movie job detail (yah right!
).
I don't know how to post pictures yet. Some one who knows how to do it, please let me know.
