I don't have any stands yet and my new tires arrived and i need to take my wheels off. Anyone have any do it yourself ways of getting the your bike up in the air?

bill parr

put a jack under the rear shock, then jack stands under the swing arm. or just lay it on its side

yellowjacket

park it on its nose/tail. if you need help ask a local stunter..

You can prop some cinder blocks and wood underneath the swingarm and forks....make sure someone's holding it because it will be unstable.

I've used jack stands under the swing arm, but i can't figure out anything for the front that won't get in the way of taking off the tire.

motorcycle straps on the rafters to your garage onto the clipons

Thats what i was thinking. I wasn't sure it they are strong enough to support the bike. have you done that before?

do it around the bottom of the top triple tree, less chance of bending your clip ons, jack under the rear straps to the rafters on the front

Kaotic

do the strap in the garage thing, i do it with my boy, works real good

Do a search for handyindustries universal stands in google. You can get a front and rear stand for $99. They arent the most sturdy, but they work and are worth the price. By the way I'm not advertising. Just trying to help.

You ca lift it up and use jack stands on the swing.....using a floor jack at tha spring housing :YEAH

Hoist it up from above. got desperate once and needed the front a rear off at the same time. Used 2 jack stands for the rear and then used my Canyon Dancer and a couple of tie-downs and lifted it from the ceiling a couple inches.

depending on where you put the floor jack on the bike, you can lift either the front or back and it will be fairly stable. some times if you let it pivot on the kickstand it will work good
