Let's get this out of the way...
Yes I am a girl and yes the FJR is heavy for me on side hill stops-
Not to be one who is EVER easily deterred, I wanted to check in to see if any of you have used a Kouba Link on the FJR or any other lowering trick?
There was a shorter, industrious guy that went through the FJR lowering and documented his efforts quite nicely in a three part PDF file. I have been hosting his files for the past couple of years since he posted about them. Rather than try to go search for the original post, here are the links to those pdf files:
Bike Lowering Stage 1 - Lowering the seat
Bike Lowering Stage 2 - Lowering the suspension
Bike Lowering Stage 3 - Side and Center Stands
MEM has a lowered FJR (and quite difficult to put on the centerstand).
I have worked on Mary Ellen's bike before. It would be nearly, humanly impossible to put her bike up on the (unmodified) center stand
without using your brain. All that needs to be done is to back the bike's rear wheel up onto a small piece of lumber and the bike goes up onto the center stand just like a regular FJR.
