[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1362665, member: 13519"] Not really that. It's mostly that the Stratoliner has all of its weight below your waist. It's heavy, but it's low. The FJR isn't necessarily top heavy but it carries it's weight much higher. Coming from a VTX, I had to learn that lesson also. Once I began to respect the more elevated center of gravity, I stopped dropping my bike. A few years ago, there seemed to be lots of people dropping their bikes off of partially deployed side stands. Because of that, I ALWAYS put my stand down,and then drag my bike back, about an inch, insuring the side stand is fully deployed. Sorry you dropped your new bike. That sucks, but its fixable, and in 50k miles, you will barely remember. [/QUOTE]
