DubT9 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Thought i'd drop in to say hello. Recently replaced my fjr1300 with a 2015 Tracer 900. Enjoying the lightness and that triple engine is a belter, doesnt have the turbine power of the fjr but has far more character. Found this site while researching the slipper clutch upgrade and thanks to some links posted here i managed to snag the complete xsr clutch upgrade from Partshark for 1/3 of the price of the parts here, result. Few mods already done are wilbers suspension front/rear, givi rack, led spot lights and fender extenders front and rear (essential here where it seems to never stop raining). Shiny side up..

Supporting Member fjrchuck Posted June 6, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted June 6, 2021 Yes, WELCOME as well from West Michigan. Nice looking ride you have there with some great mods. I have a 2016 FJR as well as my 2019 Tracer and really love both of them! For pounding big miles the FJR can't be beat, however it is heavy feeling at slow speeds as you know..... My wife visited Ireland with a group a few years back and still talks about the awesome natural beauty there! Again WELCOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the fjr1300 was the best bike i've ever owned, that engine is unreal, but decided to go a little lighter as not doing as much touring. Have toured around a good bit of the States on an fjr for a few years and it was the ideal weapon for the job. Some great scenery over this side of the pond alright and you get a great view when the rain stops and the mist clears...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about 80 miles west of where I live. I hope one day to visit your country which is where my family originated.
