magley64 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 that's one way...and probably the way you'd want to go if you don't have a centerstand...i put mine on the centerstand, have someone hop on the back seat, and then put cement blocks under the forks...

exSRAaron Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 haha i changed both tires without stands...jack stand for the rear (didnt have spools yet) and jacked up the front end by the headers and was able to pull everything off, almost tipped over a few times :ekk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f4isvt Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 +1Be sure to use your rear stand also.+ a billion I had my bike completely hung in the garage. Used canyon dancers up front and some ratchets worked great. I had a rear stand but I was taking the swingarm off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 +1 for the rafters and straps. Although I used heavy duty hooks screwed into the rafters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
