Like the others said I put one in the brace as it is very stable.

I agree. I also that I can drain another 3rd of quart of oil from the crankcase if I level the bike, so I move the jack as far forward as possible to get just one jack rail under the frame and have room for my oil pan. The frame is pretty durable.

hmmm, I have a RG and would not think that the fairing would be that much heavier than the batwing but if I put one leg of the jack in the brace the front stays down. I have to put it right before the brace and the front is a little higher then the back but it works. Still rocks quit a bit, not as stable as others have mentioned? Not sure why it would be that much different on a RG? I put mine on the jack if I am not going to ride for a week or so just to makes more room in the garage. Any RG owner inputs?

+1 on the crossbrace for the jack. The only way you are going to bend the crossbrace is trying to jump granite curbs. Ask me how I know.
