Wow, you must have a huge garage!I just grab a handfull of throttle in first or second. No problem getting the front wheel off the ground!
Shadow - with the centerstand, you don't need the rear stand. I have the front stand from Handy and it works just fine to get the front wheel off of the ground. Makes wheel cleaning much easier.
Great, my girlfriend reads over my shoulder and I'm reading this as I'm asking her to help me get the front end up. (Of the bike you perverts :haha: ) Guess who's not gettin any tonight?but anything from a tree, car, fire plug, telephone poll, fat chick, etc.
Not even close Jim. I have used this method on at least a dozen bikes that have an exhaust that tucks under, have never even so much as left a mark on them. The pressure is minimal, and involves tools that most garage guys have.I guess most of the weight is still on the centerstand so the pipes never reach "crush weight".
I , too, used to uneasy about raising the front wheel using the sissors-jack/2x4 method.Not even close Jim.
