Best way that me and my buddy has added everything onto my ride is.... 1) Lift bike with rear and front stand. 2) Take rear wheel wheel off 3) Reverse foot pegs... 4) Put jack stands under said foot pegs 5) Remove swingarm 6) Do whatever work you want to do back there now I added a new swingarm, new shock, and links that way one Sunday afternoon. My bike is full of aftermarket all done in my garage.
