Supporting the front of bike

[FJRBluesman]

Black Widow Front stand. Love it! Easy to use no issues access to the axle etc. Can't do fork removal though.

Y'know, I've got one of those in my garage and I HAVE used it. If I'm just changing the tire the floor jack is quicker and easier for me (I have my own tire machine so the time requirement is less than for some others).

I recently bought one of these:

Only have used it a couple of times, but so far am pleased with it....

So I'm pulling the front wheel off tommorrow for the shop to spoon a new tire. There's alot of weight on the front of an FJ. What do you guys use to lift and support??Steve

I did this and it works great.

I drilled a hole in the concrete floor, stuck in one of those little duhickies that expand and hold solid and when I want to pick up the front end I just screw in the eye bolt,put it on the center stand and put a tie down strap on the back,whal-la front end is up and will stay as long as the strap doesn't break. When your done unscrew the eye bolt and the floor is flat again and everything is out of the way. :yahoo:

First time I changed the front tire, I uses a couple tie downs, hooked to a rafter and the support bar behind the headlight. Had racerwife hold the back end down, then tightened up the tie down strap to hold the front end off the ground.

Now I just put a jack under the headers.
