Author Message   Jim_sb Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 02:43 pm:        Hi guys, What is the best rear stand to get for the Ulysses? Recommendations please - I need to pull the rear wheel to get new rubber asap. Regards, Jim in Santa Barbara   Daves Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 04:23 pm:        Pit Bull wide rear stand   Jim_sb Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 05:04 pm:        Thanks, Dave. Do you use the spools with the XB? Jim in Santa Barbara   Daves Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 05:30 pm:        Nope I sell them for 116.20   Stevem123 Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 08:41 pm:        Hey Jim, I just used a standard motorcycle lift. Jack up the lift to the bottom of the muffler noting the lift points of course, then use tie-straps to secure both sides of the bike to keep it from falling over. You might need help holding the bike upright to get both straps on but I cheated. I used one strap looped around part of the seat frame with the seat off and it worked fine for me alone. BC Steve BTW: I am about to put on the 3rd rear and second front. I have about 5,600 miles on it now. I'm going with Avon Azaro's ST version. They also have a rain version of the Azaro's that looks like will be great for winter/rainy season! Hopefully these will last longer.   Crusty Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 09:57 pm:        Damn; you must have some really abrasive roads up there. I'm still on my original rear tire at 5400 miles, with a bit of life left. I'll be putting Avon Azaros on before my cross country ride in July. I hope you get better life with the Avons than you got with the stock Dunlops.   Stevem123 Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 11:14 pm:        Yeah I'm not a big fan of changing tires as often as I change my oil.... Our roads are quite abrasive but I think my twisty commute through the redwoods may have a little to do with it. Oh and my riding style is also quite spirited. BC Steve   Jim_sb Posted on Thursday, May 11, 2006 - 12:26 pm:        Hi Steve, I have a Sears M/C lift - I'm going to make a wooden cradle for added security. That won't take long. BTW I've got 2700 miles on my rear and it's at the wear bars, I figure maybe it could go 300 miles more but it would be toast by then. No way I can make it to Yosemite and back next weekend, so I'm going to get a new one on there Saturday. I think I'll do an oil change too just for grins. See you next weekend. Jim in Santa Barbara
