Either I'm super weak, or this bike is HEAVY!

    You are 100% correct. Most of the 5th Gen bikes that seem super-hard to put on the center stand have too much static sag. In the case of my 5th Gen (a 2000), I literally think the spring has also compressed from sitting in a garage for the last 18 years. Jamie's re-springing my stock shock for me right now, for my 220 lb. weight. I'm fully anticipating that it will be much easier to put on the center stand after I get that re-sprung shock installed...
