Title: triple clamp removal Post by: REDUC on November 02, 2008, 02:16:41 PM So, how do you guys support the front of the bike when you remove the triple clamps?

I generally put a jack on the headers. but i guess its the same thing.

That's by far the safest method.
Other than that, you'll have to use a jack. Title: Re: triple clamp removal Post by: Howley on November 02, 2008, 10:38:10 PM Right on the head?

Of course this method assumes you have a rear stand.
