I sold my Harbor freight swing arm stand because it was tricky at best to get the bike up and worse coming down. I would of needed another stand in conjunction with the rear to raise the front. By far the best solution I came up with to solve the lifting of the FJ6R is the Harbor Freight Aluminum motorcycle lift. It's on sale right now from $199 to $149. Redeem your 20% off coupon and it's about $119. You could easily spend that on a swing arm stand alone. This works way better! Be sure to use a tie down on each side of the bike for safety attached from the handlebars to the lift. I confirmed with the service department that raising the bike by the exhaust system and catalytic converter was the proper place to lift this bike. Go slow releasing the handle coming down and make sure you have the kickstand down for added safety. This aluminum lift is a gem.
