damn! you got hella lucky ... im suprised you didnt hear your bike fall &crying for you to help her lol

did you think about inserting the rod back through the forks to keep them straight ? seems like that wouldve fixed that problem

+1
I've done that before when I have the front wheel off. Stick a pipe through the forks and rest it on jackstands

RE: This is why you dont use Jack Stands
 

you have a nice garage. mine is all cramped. oh well.....lesson learned right?

RE: This is why you dont use Jack Stands
 

no, no damage, and yea i had a friend rush over and help me, cause i tried but couldnt lift the front and position the jack stands. if you look, i didnt have spools in the rear, and i was just using the flat adaptor for the rear, so i was afraid to mess with it too much and have the rear slide out too... i immediately put the tire back on (just got back from getting them mounted)...everything worked out fine.

RE: This is why you dont use Jack Stands
 

yea, front stand = next "mod", lol

RE: This is why you dont use Jack Stands
 

I know what it's like to see your bike on it's sideon the garage floor. I'm glad that didn't happen to you..

RE: This is why you dont use Jack Stands
 

Oh man, that sucks!

Oh, btw, I still have the adapter pin for the front stand..............just kidding :Dbut that does suck pretty bad.

See, Leveltwo asked if he could use my front stand. I would have let him borrow it, but I sold the pin and the adapter sleeve for it a long time ago when the bike got wrecked. It's a pitbull stand that lifts from the bottom of the steering stem. The 1000RR pin is completely different.
