[QUOTE="keithq, post: 1464628, member: 98319"] Used Soupy's on a previous Honda ST1300 and on an earlier FJR. Worked well for me. 5'8 and a 30" inseam. Able to flat foot the bike now and the only issue with Soupy's was the center stand was nearly impossible to use without putting the rear tire on a 2x4 so I could get the leverage to move it up. On the current FJR, I went with T-Rex racing stuff, great quality and less expensive. They also sell an adjustable side stand and center stand. So yeah, I don't fly over speed bumps and have not bottomed out. Two up may be another story. But being able to walk the bike and hold it up with more than one leg at a stop is much more important to me. Sorry to see some of the less than serious responses above, however. This is a heavy bike and anything I can do to make it safer for me is worth it. [/QUOTE]
