those without center stands

[slowpoke]

how do you jack the ass end up to remove the rear tire?

 

[one2dmax]

Leave side stand down and jack up by either the header or frame rail. Bike will lean for sure but you only just need it barely off the ground.

I got a motorcycle jack from Harbor freight for like $50 bucks. Slides under and supports both sides. Great for oil changes as well so you can check the level easily.

unfortunately no pics available... but what I did on my old v-max which didn't have a centre stand b/c of a cobra exhaust was...


was had a motorcyle jack and cut 3 x 2x4's so they looked like the following (looking at the 2" end):

1-->_____
2->|____|
3->|____|__
|__________| <---(4)


The top two pieces (arraows 2/3) were just the perfect size so they fit up right where the center stand mounts (would rest on #1) were and were long enough to clear the exhaust.

The bottom piece was wide enough so it fit over the jack (4).

it worked great.

I yanked my centerstand, but I kept it. It's a matter of about half a minute to put it back on securely enough for working on the bike. Two shoulder bolts and spin the nuts finger tight, done.

What does spinning nuts have to do with the center stand? Sorry, it was out there and I went with it....

Where exactly do you lift the bike with this jack?

Doesnt this sit under the headers on the bottom side of bike?

So when you lift bike all the bikes weight are on the headers??

Yep, doesnt seem to hurt it one bit. Never had a problem and that is the way Sean showed me when I was at his shop in June. I was concerned at first but alas my fears were washed away in the knowledge of the Jedi Master

Now please don't laugh, but here is what I did to jack up the rear end. I was sick and tired of having to remove my rear fender to swap the drag slick with my street tire, so I made this beauty!!!! It isn't much to look at, but it works well, and I can jack it up by myself. Let me know if anyone wants some dimensions... I got the material for free so it was just an hour of my time.

That is from the 85 drag bike project... I also got an 88 harness for $7, so I have one to destroy and use for making a new one.

I would NEVER laugh at that kind of ingenuity!! If you don't laugh at my tire mounting/balancing operation.
All we need to do now is slosh a little Seafoam on these things and get them powdercoated!!
Make BIG $'s on eBay!! :rofl_200:
