After 27,000 miles I decided to lower my new FJR ..
The AE - ES version suspension is great in comparison to the old but holds the height ..
The addition of a Russel Day Long seat also added to it.
For those that have not done this before .. hope this helps to show how simple it is ..
I have to hand a couple of different size dog-bone sets to test and decided the 25mm set was not enough
35mm seemed to be the way to go.. so I fitted Lust Racing dog-bones which have a good quality construction and finish.
Fitted them and after a local RTE felt that this was a great solution ...
Next on the list was to alter the side stand.. When 1/2 loaded the bike sits up too much..
Checked the angles and came to a 25mm chop would be the optimum for my needs ..
Advantage of having a spare Side-stand means I can revert the whole bike back to original spec if required
Ref Main-stand the bike lifts onto it without any problems ...
If I find later that I require this then a block of wood under the back wheel or I may chop my spare main stand ..
