Kind of interesting.

Plugged in my stats and it looks like a 1" lowering of foot pegs and 2" rise on the bars would be pretty comfy...

That is a really cool tool!

Oh, I ordered up a set of risers from Randy at RPM moments ago.

Just polished off another 463 miles, I think those risers will help.

Getting old does have it's perks, needing risers and a fatter seat are not among them....

You are gonna like those risers , just high enough for back relief but still low enough to get jiggy.  :crazy:

Oh you know you want them  :biggrin:

I did discover an added benefit to the bar risers ..... If you tuck the front wheel and spin out , the bars are raised just enough to keep the bar ends from denting your tank .. so you can now drop your fj with confidence knowing the tank will be ok.  :sarcastic:

I can follow your reasoning, I'm just not sure I like it!

I did a little bit of plinking on that site...   compared the FJ to a few of others on my 'could be interesting' list.  What I didn't find was anything with the same stats as the FJ.   Anyone know of a 'non-FJ' with the same ergos?     (I only played for 10 minutes so I didn't look too hard.)

The Aprilia Tuono 1000R the Vtwin Rotax engined bike is pretty close.
Its also out of production.  Most of the others I tried were 'more sporty' wrt ergos.
