I made a great tool for holding up the tank it works perfect check it out. All it takes is a wire , two S hooks and some rubber hose to protect the tank.

I built one of these when I had my FJR
FJR1300 Front End Support Stand
I use it for lots of stuff. I've suspended the whole front end of my FJR with it before for a while while I swapped fork oil and repacked the steering head bearings. It's pretty strong and I'd hang my FZ6 from it with no problems. Used it as a tank prop a few times also. Usually I just use a short length of wood between the airbox and tank for doing simple stuff like battery work but obviously that won't work when replacing the airfilter lol.
I even built a rear stand for a SV650 with the same tubing but welded the joints on that one. I did lots of work on that SV when I had it using that rear stand.

Thanks. Awesome photos. Cool idea and it's helpful to new owners to see how things work on the FZ6 too. :thumbup:

What do you have the lower end set into (to keep from slipping out/around)?
Can you post a picture of that end and also the total lenth?
I suppose if the lower end isn't inserted somewhere, a small plate, with a 1/4" hole welded to that end could be used with one of the original front gas tank hold down bolts... I use the old short 2x4 method but something more substantial and solid, especially when syncing, bars moving, etc would be much better and easier to get around...
