I'm with Bubba - get Keith Codes books and video, buy Nick Ianetch's Sport Riding techniques. Also a good book is Reg Pridmores - Smooth Riding....
I too started out thinking that I could go to a new caliper on the rear and fab a new mount to get it to work. I bought a RC51 rear from ebay and...
I suppose your right - can he get away with it? Yes. Is it desireable? Debatable. I guess you could say once the bike is leaned over sometimes...
If its the same tire model, the guy is FOS. The issue with the tire size is steering geometry. Going up in size slows it, going down in size...
I would go for the '07 FJR1300. Yamaha finally fixed most of the issues with the previous model years - especially heat. Thats probably why there...
