I was wondering what your solution will be to the frame. The engine acts as a stressed member in this frame if I'm not mistaken.

I agree that putting the bike up on the center stand should be easy. I have a Suzuki GS1150F that I can put up on the stand with modest effort. It's over 500 lbs and I'm 160. That said, I did need to learn proper technique. I did it wrong a few times and that made for a lot more effort. Your bike is much lighter.

I am thinking of converting an old Suzuki GS400E I have with a seized engine. Watching with interest.
