Is it safe to jack up the front of the bike by a floor jack and block of woor under the crankcases?

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

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.
