Never too late to get info.👍 It did smooth things out, mostly in STD mode, but A mode still feels jerky at low speeds. The mod for me was a positive one but I know the bike will never be smooth without a full tune. I should also say my aftermarket exhaust helped as well after finding a good baffle set up (hole size and number). To me it goes against what I've seen with other exhaust updates. Usually fueling gets worse but in this case it got better. Not sure why but who am I to question. Love the burbles on over run downshifting.

Not sure how much. Like I said a little. Really I just like the looks and I'm more than satisfied with the beak not making things worse. That was all I could hope for and for $29 it was a cheap option that could just as easily sat on a shelf if it didn't work out.

It's not a problem for me. If anything it helps a little at higher speed. Only had it up to 155 km/hr last night (in mexico of course😀) on the first test ride. Lots of heavy trucks and cool crosswinds. No issues. I should say I didn't use the supplied hardware and bushings. Just a thin washer and the factory fairing bolt. It's tight but once in there is no way the beak is coming iff. One down side is it blocks some of the light from my fog lights. Kind if a cool lighting effect though. The front fender and some of the front of the bike looks all lit up.

I became a beak owner.😊

I use that same cheap light as well. Must say it's the best ten bucks spent on the bike. As mentioned above there are some mounting points on the lower fork clamps but some spacers of differing lengths are required. No clearance issues.

Ok then, forget a picture with the homeless. Might still be nice to buy one a coffee though.

Wow... that is twisted.Just thought it would be a nice thing to do for someone given the colder temps and dark days. You'd be surprised what you could learn from others. Weather they be homeless, old or someone who's served. We have a local guy, Richard, I stop and talk to once in a while and get him a coffee. Found out he was driving his family when they got into an accident. Everyone but him died and he's been on the street punishing himself ever since. Local churches and help groups have tried to get him off the street with no luck. He hasn't turned to booze or drugs, just a lost soul. Wasn't looking for anything twisted just seeing if we can do something nice for someone. You would also be surprised at how many people will talk to people on a motorcycle and pose for pictures if you just talk to them and tell them what you're up to.

Right on. We're going to try and pay it forward a little here. If anyone thinks it's out of line let me know. [strong]A picture of your FJ with a homeless person, Vet or Senior citizen. Bonus points for [and to be honest THE point] buying them a coffee, donut or food. [/strong]

Different angle.

I'm hoping this one counts. If it is, I'll put up the next challenge in a new post. There are two horses in the background on one of our many local dairy farms. I was just out for a test ride for a new baffle and remembered this thread at the last moment. Sorry I didn't have my good camera with me, just phone. A picture of your FJ with some form of livestock or animals in the wild.

I tried to get a pick of my FJ with my friends 1952 Vincent and his 1968 Camaro SS. Bastard was out of town on business. :-(

Thanks for that. Will have to take a look. Might save my empties for a year. ;-)

Looks great. Love the under belly pan.

Just ordered a set. I’ve been searching for a while too and this post sold me on these. Can’t go wrong with a $27 experiment. For me when I added the GPR stabilizer it also added about 1/4” to handlebar height. So for me to bring the height down is key. Just remember with the lower height it will take some fiddling to avoid contact between cables, wires and the hand guards if you still have them on. You can also add one or two washers under the risers if needed as well. I don't think you'll be disappointed though and like you said, at that price there really is no risk. Solid construction on these but like I said, I did replace some bolts with higher grade SS.

Oh really? That sounds about perfect then... essentially the same fore & aft adjustment options as stock, but a bit over an inch overall lower height. I like! Question: Did you end up putting a sleeve in the riser to compensate for the smaller diameter bolt, or was it close enough with the hex socket head to not be a concern? I stand corrected on my earlier statement: I have a set of Tag Metal dirt bike risers on my Raptor/Interceptor project, to put a fat bar on the 954 forks and billet upper triple clamp. They wouldn’t be tall enough to work for this application on the FJ. Great information, @cuff ! Very much appreciate you sharing the knowledge. No worries. Love tinkering and sharing info. The two SS hex head M10 bolts I had fit snug and directly into the pocket of the riser. No need for any sleeve as the bolt head keeps it centered in the hole. I'm sure most bolts will fit and if not a little grinding will work.
