Note this should only be done with the bike on a rear stand...

I do it all the time, just use some common sense.

they sell that at ca-cycleworks or monsterparts?

if you are going to jack it up try jacking up more towards the front... because to ceneterd will just lift the whole bike up, not the front. i jack it up at the header nut usally. or on the header right after it bends.
