cool.. so am defenetly not the only guy on a tight budget taking a desperate measure to chage my tires, i love that tree idea, funny but smart..

am gonna use sum car ramps i use for when i work under my truck, made outta plastic so they'll be better then cylinder blocks. Also does anybody know the size of the right side rear tire nut, i have one of those cross looking tire changers that fit the left side but the right side is too big for it.

 

nevermind its 1 1/16" just went down to advance auto parts and bought one..alright ill b back after putting the tires on with a picture of my improvised ramp.

 

I just took my rear tire off last night without any stands. All I did was put a floor jack under where the swingarm meets the frame and started lifting. With the kickstand down it lifts the bike up at an angle and problem solved. Although, I will say that the bike is very unstable like this so I did something similiar to another post and put connected two ratchet straps from the rear of the bike to the door track for my garage. Worked like a charm!

 

For the front I use rafters and a winch. Could do the same with the rear if your willing to take some plastics off.
