dudes.....
i know is ghetto but here is how i worked on my bike.

to lift i got a 2x4 piece of wood and a car jack and lifted from under the headers.

OR

if you strong enough and have a budy. lift from the front tire with your arms. like a real men? lol

and to support i used a rim with a fat tire and put it under neath. worked great. look.



the bike aint heavy to cause any damage to the headers. but if ur that picky.

put the 2x4 under the engine. and a cinder block on each side. and wala.

 

you can use a jack under the headers but dont leave it on the jack for 2 long bcuz if your jack is like mine it'll ease down unnoticeably and fall in the middle of the night and make you say "WTF was that"

 

Any standard pump jack will work, and use a piece of wood so you don't dig the jack into the headers.

Balancing is the issue, that is why I use ratchet straps. Strap the bike from the frame to something sturdy on each side.

If you don't plan on keeping the bike, then I wouldn't even bother with a stand at all... hell, a shop will probably charge you less to fix it rather than you buying a stand and doing it yourself.

 

i used a motorcycle jack and put it under the headers. It sat on there for weeks at a time when i was building my bike. i feel like its better then the swingarm and fork lift things.

 

where did u buy that jack from?

 

i jaked the header with a car jack, and put jack stands under the forks, with the wheel off i raised it more and put my brothers flat dirtbike jack under the forks and put the jackstands under swing arm while the wheel was serviced, very stable(dirtbike jack is mechanical) puting a new tire on today and will be hanging it up by the tripple this time, my buddy has a neat set up in his barn
