LOL
I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I did not have any luck searching, so here goes...
With Givi side-cases (and eventually a top-case courtesy DefyInertia), I find even a moderately packed bike is heavy enough over the rear wheel to make front-end lift pretty common under anything but the most conservative acceleration.
Now, I know I can throw my body forward, hunched over and kissing the gauge cluster, looking like I'm after the land-speed record, and this helps/works.
But, aside from that, are there any other things I can do to temper this characteristic?
Different rear shock/spring?
Geometry changes?
Aside from ditching the bags, buying a true touring bike, swapping the motor for a Tecumpseh, or putting a 2k rev limit, does anyone have any constructive idea/opinion/experience with a tail-heavy FZ6....?
