How to get the rear wheel off the ground without a paddock stand

I'm gonna need pics to see what you mean.

My mind is just jogging through images of a raw pipe on painted metal, flaking off the original surface.  Owch.

Unfortunately I'm 3000 miles away from my garage until december, but darkstar is right, theres no paint on the inside of your axle, and even the ducati performance rear stand for the SSS bikes uses a raw steel stepped pin that goes into the axle...no less harmful than a piece of pipe.

Like this, except you slip a pipe or bar through the hollow axle instead of using the spools.

Also, if you have rigid, non-hinged footpegs, you can just put the jackstands under the pegs.

Stoppie?






Won't really work for oiling the chain though.  Or any other maintenance for that matter.

Maybe for draining the fork oil.

I love that pic.  Best Helmet Ever.

But I wonder how it fared when he faceplanted 0.25 seconds later?

I have two now and I have zero problems.  They are not heavy like the bulldog but they do the job for a much lower price.

Does this fit the newer Monsters with axle sliders in?

he needed to have his helmet off to show that facial expression.  EVERYONE else behind him had at least a helmet on...bad luck vs. stupidity.

No idea.  I picked it up for the front capability, but I think it comes with paddles for the swingarm.
