Find a beam and use a couple of tie down straps. Loop one end of the strap to the beam and the hook part on the other end to your passenger peg bracket. Do the same for the other side. Lift the whole back of your bike right up. | ||

You can take a tiedown and strap it around a beam in your garage and around your frame. Then lift. Dammit Damnut. Beat me by a nose. (Message edited by frankfast on May 01, 2007) | ||

Craftsman jack and muffler cradle. I was doubtful, but it works really well and is quite stable.  | ||

You can use a judicious application of throttle and clutch in most any gear. | ||

race stands are my weapon of choice. | ||

Is that one of the bull riding thing like in the movie "Urban Cowboy" oooohhhhh | ||

I just bought a Vortex front and rear stand. They are very stable, and give plenty of clearance to do most work. | ||

I just use a floor jack on the bottom of the touratech bash plate. | ||

 No need to buy TWO race stands to get the front wheel up. Just visit your local recycling center, ( ie: construction site). Reclaim some 2x 6 's . Lever the bike up using a long piece, whilst your girl friend sticks four short pieces under the front jack point on the muffler. You just need a rear stand to keep the bike steady, and for changing the rear tire. The wood can be further recycled in the off season by putting in fireplace. Waste not, want not, OK?  | ||

I just lifted it up and set it down on an old inflated spare tire for my Honda. Support bike by tie down from the rafters so it doesn't fall over. Wala take both tires off and don't pay them a billion dollars to change your tires and scuff up my sexy amber rims. | ||

I just use the scissor jack from my car on the front or rear jack points on the muffler. Just raise it enough to get the rear wheel off the ground,and leave it on the sidestand | ||

I use a 3 ton floor jack and two ratchet straps. Works great for one tire if you're on a tight budget.  | ||

I use pit-bull stands.  | ||

Another PitBull stand user. When I need the rear tire off I use the hydraulic floor jack and some scrap wood.  | ||
