I find the bike very stable on this type of jack. Used it on my former 2018 Goldwing and very stable there also. You could attach straps to keep it from tipping but I have never felt the need to do that.

I have found this works well. Should have bought one years ago. My bike is currently sitting on mine as the forks were pulled yesterday for new seals.

Apparently my FJR has been having relations with my R/RT and this is the hybrid/bastard result:

On the other end of that wire is a guy with a joystick flying the plane. RC all the way.

If I still had a Gen 2 that Cee Bailey would be mine already. Best I ever had on my 08.

Big Bang October 21 this year.

I hate RDL seats, they are shaped all wrong for me. Add me to that list. And they look like $hit on an FJR. John Deere meets Japan.

At least the side panels color match. Never liked the silver side panels on any FJR except on a silver bike.

Welcome. Looks like a Cee Bailey windscreen on the bike. Had one on my 08 and it was the best ever. Hang onto that screen.

This is local:

Also in your area is the Corbin factory. You can make an appointment and ride in for the build. The one butt on their seat is it can only be used in the low position of the bike so if you are a tall guy then probably not.

I ran it the other way from Alpine south to Morenci. Have made this run many times over the years. They have an old 666 sign at the Bear Wallow Cafe and won't part with it. Not yet anyway. I keep trying.

Took a ride to Alpine, AZ and on my way home got lucky on a side trip.

Being on the ST Owners forum I see the FJR being around for quite some time even if Yamaha ceases production. Someone will post a RTE on that board and maybe one or two ST's will show with all others being Yamaha's, BMW's, and various other brands. Of course the ST has been gone since 2012ish...

Anything we do is under attack. So to keep the politics out of it I'll just leave it at that.
