I have a craftsman motorcycle lift, I'm gonna take off both wheels. Will the stock exhaust support the weight of the bike or should I take that off to???

the exhaust is a jacking point, just make sure to stablize it due to the fact that the muffler is not flat on bottom.

Make some cradles too (plywood, 2x4's)... maybe back it up with a couple of straps over the rafters in case it decides to jump off the lift.

I have one similar to that and it works great on dirt bikes. It's nice to be able to move the bike around on the jack too.
