Suspension!

[ibleedgreen]

Ok yes I have searched but just not getting the answers I need.

What are you guys doing for suspension upgrades? I know I'm spoiled and have the R6 in the garage too but I just want this FJR setup better!

I also have Traxxion right down the road and I know they can hook it up. Of course the total package would be their AK20's in the front ($1000) and a new Penske in the rear ($770). Or just swap the weak *** springs out of the front to firm it up a bit and save some cash.

Right now the shock needs to be in the hard position for me but it just will not work with the soft front.

Thoughts? Links? What's everybody doing?

Thanks,

Chris

I would do a search, this has been gone over many times.

What are you searching on specifically? I get tons of them when I search that I can winnow down to useful by revising the search options.

Somebody link me a thread in here where is describes what aftermarket suspension upgrades are being done.

Total overhauls. What works? What doesn't?

Or does anybody on here ride the bike fast enough where it matters?

Tough crowd.

Insulting people will not get you help.

Insult? Where?

I have yet to do so. I figure if somebody has upgraded the ****** suspension they can ride and will chime in.

Chris,

My personal recommendation is put a little stiffer springs in the front yourself and ride it! Yeah there are a few that ride at a spirited pace on here. In fact I saw a few of them this weekend.

Sounds like we need to ride together!

I am chiming in since I don't have trouble with my "****** suspension".

It is very obvious that you 1. Don't know how to search google or 2. did not bother to search.

If you don't know how to search google and want to search for something on the forum the best way is to go to google then type in what you want to search followed by "site:fjrforum.com"

Example that returns tons of hits - suspension site:fjrforum.com

If you did not bother to search please do so in the future. If you don't you will piss people off. There is a lot of info here and mostly likely anything you want is here. Google is your friend.

Good to hear. Thread resolved then and you don't want to risk being considered a Search Welfare recipient.
