Lifting handle

[Delboy777]

Im probably going to lower my bike in the new year by fitting Wilbers suspension to my GSA (im a short arse) to that end i have bought a GS centre stand and a spare GSA side stand that can be modified to suit. Having fitted the Centre stand would there any advantage in fitting a lifting handle ?

Depends how strong you are - perhaps it could form a part of 'World's Stongest Man' competitions???

Anyone who struggles is doing it wrong,this has to be the easiest bike stand is central giving a good lift,try a Vmax that's a hulk of metal to lift Iv had plenty of big bikes that are harder.

I manage just fine with my vanilla GS, and I'm a 9st 8lb weakling....

Use the GSA side case strut as a grap handle then put right foot on centre stand arm. Now just pull up steadily on the strut with your weight on the centre stand arm. Imagine you are pulling the two apart and bike pops easily onto the stand.

Simple. Don't bother with centre stand. I only ever use mine when I want to brim the tank...

I removed my centre stand and don't miss it

How is a frugal Scotsman going to justify the expense of a set of Wilbers?

I bought one on a whim and found it harder to use than not. The angles seemed to make it feel like I was about to pull a muscle in my back, whereas i never had any worries grabbing the frame or passenger grab handle or pannier frame.
