[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 569384, member: 151"] Those weights won't work on an FJR. They only help on the superior steel-tube frames that allow for torsional flex. The FJR's frame/engine system is much too rigid for the weights to help in cornering stability. I wonder if one could achieve the same results by lowering the tire pressure but that would increase tire contact patch/sidewall flex and would not increase the weight at the tire/pavement juncture. Anyone willing to experiment and report? :unsure: [/QUOTE]
