Funny. Two things. I didn't realize either of you were mods and here to keep each thread from drifting. After seeing many of your posts, your avatar fits you perfectly.

Talk about a hero complex and your useless posts. You do more to cause **** than help anyone.

This post leads me to a ton of questions, of which I have started another thread for in the Maintenance and tech section:

the most important things are to make sure the bike is properly positioned on the jack, make sure its well balanced, and always have the bike properly strapped to the jack (i use ratchet straps). also use common sense and you should be fine with any properly functioning jack, whether is low cost or high end.

Damn I'm being sucked back into this.

You are right that my post wasn't offering any help either so I guess I'm just as bad.

It's just it gets under my skin when people berate others in order to try and justify their own actions.

Now since I don't have a clue where to get a Slim fuel tank, I'll leave this thread for good.
