[QUOTE="MarFJR, post: 950027, member: 27438"] The center stand was blocking the upper bolt. I figured that the weight load on the 2 steel tubes Green arrows on Fred’s diagram about 250 lbs.As the back end goes higher the weight would be shifted to the front of the bike a bit. I am 200 So if The bike can’t handle me sitting as a passenger without cracking I would have seen it on the news by now! If I had a helper I may have had them balance the bike as I worked on it as I have seen other folks talk about here. I came up with a few other ideas.. All of them had me building a lift connected to the rafters or a A-frame type of thing. In the end I went Yankee “Cheap” and made due with what was hanging around the house. . PS. I really like the extra height. I finally stopped hitting my boots, center stand and muffler on the pavement! [/QUOTE]
