Vortex front stand pin

[Pete Bansen]

I have a Vortex front stand for my DL-650 and have the correct pin for that bike. Would like to get the correct pin for the FJR - does anyone have this stand and remember offhand which Vortex pin is the right one?

Thanks,

Pete Bansen

If you're talking about a pin that goes into the bottom of the center tripple tree you're SOL. The FJR is closed off in that area. My Pit Bull stand is useless too. Don't know why they blocked it off on the FJR.

Cause it's not a race bike...

Ahhhh! That splains it! :glare:

That wouldn't exactly explain why the V-Strom CAN be supported there. A race bike, it's not...

Guess I'll have to go the "board under the centerstand and a 2x6 adapter for the floor jack under the engine case nubs" technique. Stands are a lot quicker and non-fiddly.

It's pretty telling when Vortex own web site doesn't list a FJR for any stand.
