Message: <blockquote data-quote="Warchild" data-source="post: 31322" data-attributes="member: 4">Sadly, based upon how Yamaha has done their upgrades in the past, I would venture to guess that virtually NONE of these improvements will bolt-on to previous FJRs. Of course, we won't know that for a fact until they arrive.All the air venting enhancements are fine, but I'm not personally interested in them  since I have no real heat issues on my deer-strike FJR (though of course, like all FJRs, it can be toasty when ambient temps are above 85-ish degrees F).The only components I will be seriously looking at retro-fitting are the new curved radiator (tho I think there is almost zero chance it will bolt on, but I'll investigate anyway), and the other item I *may* look at retro-fitting are the '06 fork legs. My suspicion is that Yamaha seriously re-worked the internals of these Soqi forks on the '06 model, so I would gain that advantage, and also step up to 320mm brakes. The downside is that I would need new rotors, and unless the mounting flanges work out, I'd need new calipers, too. If I am forced to use these new Nissin calipers, then I'll need to de-link them as well.</blockquote>
