So I'm planning on raising the rear of my bike to do some work with a come along attached to a brace I have installed in the rafters of my garage that was used for some other projects. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how to stabilize the front of the bike so she doesn't tip. I don't have the cash to buy a stand at the moment. I was thinking of using cinder blocks or maybe building something from wood. Any Ideas guys : )

build a wooden version of a wheel chock.

look some up on google for ideas.

there was a cool post two weeks ago by a guy who built a tire changing station in his garage using 2x4s and the wall stud....very inventive.

go to it, see what you can do.

post results, please

I use a large ratchet tie down type thing with
heavy duty seat belt stuff.
I just pass it under the frame behind the rear cylinder and it lifts the bike up no probs.
Dont need anything to stop the bike falling over front or rear.

Yup, but just do it in the rear.
