Pardon the slight hijack, but with the state your "spare is in" you could answer this easily.
I have a front stand from my last bike ,but at a glance , the bottom of my 05's triple tree appears to be plugged.
Is this removable or permanent?
If it is not removable, I guess I have a front stand for sale :-)

Pardon the slight hijack, what is Winter? On topic: The FJR mill is sure an impressive engine, looks so damn powerful just sitting there!

twowheelr - here is a shot of the triple tree off this bike ('09) from the bottom. It looks to me like the part that is the stem or post is pressed into the aluminum lower section of the triple tree, and is solid with the exception of that small hole milled in it. I'm not sure what size the pin is on your front end stand, but this doesn't look all that big.

It's a good thing the PNW crew bought this thing, because I was eyeing up thisvideo thinking, "I could do that"...

Thanks for the reply,
The pins are interchangeable, but 12 or 10 mm is as small as they usually go.
I guess it will go back in storage or craigslist.
