They seem to handle great so far! In the past, I've run the stock Dunlops and Continental Road Attacks, but so far these seem to handle best.   Mtjm2 Posted on Friday, May 06, 2011 - 12:53 pm:        appreteate the info , now i need a jack to get the wheel off . have a hydrolic for a standard framer but not for this . any help you could give me ?   Guell Posted on Friday, May 06, 2011 - 01:41 pm:        Front and rear stands   Biggsammy13 Posted on Sunday, May 08, 2011 - 11:38 am:        this from user Jim2 - worked for me - thanks again Jim2 "To jack bike up take bolts out of passenger pegs and flip the pegs upside down. Now use a hydrolic floor jack or bottle jack and place under rear shock mount point. With capable helper holding bike straight up and down, jack up and then place jack stands under the flipped pegs. This provides a nice level and stable platform."   Mtjm2 Posted on Monday, May 09, 2011 - 09:28 am:        thanks for the tip sammy ,loven the badweb   Mtjm2 Posted on Tuesday, May 17, 2011 - 04:13 pm:        thanks sammy ,worked like a charm and was able to do it with the help of my 5 year old daughter . need to do the front . anybody know were i can get the front jack or better yet a good pic so i can fabricate my own . thanks   Schwiiing Posted on Tuesday, May 17, 2011 - 06:20 pm:        Mark - I use the flipped passenger peg method to put the rear end of the bike up on two jack stands (one on each side - of course). To get the front end of the bike up, I mounted a u-bolt over a roof truss (2x4) in the ceiling of the garage. Then bolted a short length of chain down from the u-bolt. When I need to lift the front, I pass a webbing strap under the frame just behind the forks and use a come-a-long to ratchet the bike up while the rear pegs are on the jack stands. Gets both wheels off the ground at the same time for tire changes.   Sstlouisjak Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 10:11 pm:        These are awesome stands for the cost..you can get an adapter for the front forks for around 10 bucks.. I've got two which makes it nice to get the bike off the ground. http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result? q=swingarm+stand   Psyclown Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 11:07 am:        I have the same one. I think I got it through Sear though. Works great.   Mtjm2 Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 05:24 pm:        Can you show a pic of it in use . Thanks !   Richsm2 Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2011 - 08:05 pm:        The rear of the bike can be supported at the pegs, jack stand at the right, screw jack at the left.
