Ok so I noticed that i keep losing pressure in my rear wheel. I need to remove my wheel and take it to get patched but I don't own a bike stand to keep it on. Anyone stood the bike up with cinder blocks or anything without problems with it tipping over?..... I'm just trying to find a method to stand it up for a while without the rear wheeland make sure it won't tip.

 

if you loosen the right side lower fairing you can slide a 3/8" drive extension thru the two holes for the center stand and then use a floor jack, That is what I used until I installed a center stand.

 

Before I got a swingarm stand I had to replace arear tire. I parked my bike under the carport and hooked two ratchet strapsby therearfootpegs. Then I ran them at 45 degrees up and around the ceiling rafters. I had toclamp the front brake as well, but it actually worked out okay...the bike was secure. But I wouldn't trade anything formy swingarm and front stand set now...best investment a DIY bike owner can make!

 

Sounds like some good ideas... thanks guys i'll give them a shot.
