[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 22614, member: 615"] FJReady -- I'd recommend not using the two tank bolts for lifting the FJR. Those 6 mm bolts have fine threads screwed into the aluminum frame. This is a very weak fastener system. The recommended torque for those bolts is only 7.2 lb-ft. An alternative lifting scheme is to thread a strap through the left-to-right frame opening located just behind the steering head pipe. This is the opening the wiring, cables, etc. pass through. A strap will not interfere with the wiring, etc. You can then connect a lifting device to the strap and lift and support the bike. This technique also centers the forks and wheel since it applies equal force to both sides of the steering head upper bracket. [/QUOTE]
