It sucks that the Versys came with inverted forks but the two main street bikes (650r/er6n) didnt.

Yeah, definitely weird that they put the best suspension on the "adventure touring" version of the bike, rather than the sportbike (Ninja 650R). I noticed that the fork part numbers are different between the Ninja 650R and the ER6n too, which seemed rather an unnecessary change if they were going for budget.

I know quite a few "fast" street guys that think the stock suspension is "good enough" for the street so... No Worries is the fastest guy on lookout mountain with an old CBR with a stock suspension...:wink: You say that suspension mods are "necessary" and I say that brake mods are "necessary", since I'm paying for the mods on my bike and you're paying for the mods on your bike, I guess we're both right.:lol:
I agree. Stock pipes always look like shit, sans the original Z1000, regardless of what they sound like...which is usually crap.

Boy if that ain't the truth!

I rather like the stock exhaust on my ER. It's small, out of the way, unobtrusive, and quiet so it doesn't attract attention, if I aim to misbehave.

With ya on that. I may replace it if I find a great deal on a can.

Papa. We own the red headed step child of bikes. There aint shit for our bikes.

Papa_Complex 01-16-2011 09:51 PM
Pretty much but if you check European suppliers, they at least have SOMETHING for the ER.

Rangerscott 01-16-2011 10:36 PM
Ya, but 75% of it is for their early model that we dont have.

Papa_Complex 01-16-2011 10:38 PM
Maybe not as much as 75%, but certainly much of it. Unfortunately I found that out when I ordered a Givi windscreen that, despite having been listed as for '09-'10 ERs, was really for a 2006. I've been trying to figure out a mounting method ever since. Ultmately I may just say screw it, then try to order the Kawasaki screen from a British source.
