Congrats on on the FJ9  Dave.  I'm still getting mine dialed in.  Hope your recovery is going well. I saw your post on the FJ9 forum about suspension upgrade. I'm thinking about doing some suspension work to my bike so I can keep up with y'all.  I have a Busa rear shock to go on first looks like it will be a tight fit.                                                                               

Whoa... first who is this? Sorry you didn't sign your email and don't say in your profile.

From his handle 1st Freedom, it says he is David Perry from Powhatan, Virginia.

Funny, your comment on the Busa shock - I was thinking the same thing. 2 radically different bikes, not sure it would just swap over. but who knows.
Enjoy fiddling with your suspension.

Thanks Richard. So far it's a blast! Plus it's 140lbs lighter.

 Can't all members view my profile? It's all there.     The Hayabusa rear shock has a fat man spring 733.lb/inch.  From reading the FZ-09 and FJ-09 forums it will fit with a little plastic shield cutting.  I've yet to install it.  I'll also install some fat man fork springs and  a Stohl tech piston kit. I'm trying to save a little money and set the bike up to my weight.     David  in Powhatan Va.

There's a local NC dealer that has a new 2016 FJ09 for $8999. Called them and it's about $9500 out the door.  I will not be ready to buy a sport touring bike until the end of 2017, but want a FJ09 when I buy one, unless the FJ07 is available..

Great choice. I really like mine. However I would recommend saving for suspension upgrades. Mine really needed it.
