Here's the problem. I need to lift the rear of the bike to remove the wheel to drill and mount new spools. I don't want to buy the three prong rear stand because I will be using one for spools, but the spools arn't on the bike yet because I can't lift the rear end to put the spools on... Hmmm I could go on and on, but you get the point. Can the stock muffler hold the weight if you put a jack under it? I've seen that mentioned in the service manual. I'm open for suggestions. |

the stock muffler is supposed to be where you jack the bike up. thats why it says things about that in the manual. thats how i always change my tires in my buells. a car jack and the kickstand have worked great for going on 6 years now. i think you'll be ok, lol |

I put jack stands beneath the rear passenger pegs. They were a bit short, so I made up the difference with a 2x6 beneath each one and I used a rag to prevent scratching the peg mounts. Works very well. |
