Rats. I thought for sure you could use a motorcycle lift/jack for the cbr's. Trex should make a sssa for the vfr

I've got both the rear stand and lift from hearbor freight. Got no complaints.

You have to pull your lowers to use the lift, but there are leveling 'fingers' on the bottom of the oilpan. Just center up on them and use a ratchet strap to secure the bike. It's nice to not be all hunched over to do anything major.

The rear stand works fine as well, for the quicky stuff (oil change, lubeing, etc.) Don't have much call for sitting on the bike while working on it, so can't say much about me+bike weight, but it's plenty strong enough for my bike.

My rides a 98600f3, by the way.

You are the only person I have ever heard say that

I had my bike up on a trex rear stand for 3 months straight during the winter months. I now use the stand everyday after I am done riding. The thing is solid.
