Does anyone have plans/other for how they lifted their bike using a bike jack but with an aftermarket exhaust? I have a Jardine, so I'm not able to lift it using the muffler lift points.

1 1/2 ton hoist hung from the ceiling, I pick mine up by the handlebars and frame

a racing style rear (swingarm) stand and a front stand. I recommend pitbull or vortex brands.

Same here. I use a rear racing swingarm stand (front or rear) if I have to pull a wheel for something. I have a stand-up, locking chock that I either pull forward into or back into to keep the other end of the bike upright.

The issue is that I need to pull the swing arm off, so I need to be able to lift/support the entire bike, so a pitbull or other won't work for me.

It doesn't take much to slip the jardine off and lift the bike up by the case. I had to do this when I swapped headers, and had to lower the engine. Just remember to put a piece of wood or something in between the jack and the bottom of the case.

Use ratchet straps and a beam in your garage
