Is it strong enough to use to lift the rear of the bike? Anyone have any problems?

With care, but better not to. Certainly dont try to lift using the detachable end piece.

Thanks jordi.

I always grab the rear wheel to lift my Gasser's rear end.

we lift from the exhaust on all our gasgases including the 2011 and have no problem. they are strong enough to hold their weight as long as the brackets arr not loose it fine.

Tim as long as the motor is off i lift all bikes by the rear wheel these days.

I lift mine by the muffler now and then but I grab the muffler at the lowest point (far from the end) and lever the rear end back on my upper thigh to move the back around with my knee. I never lift the

whole bike with just the muffler as I have the older, two-piece type muffler system.
