Never doubted the stock exhaust's ability to hold the bike up on a scissor jack when removing the rear shock.

Now that I have the Barker's exhaust on there - do I need to remove it to jack the bike up from the bottom?

I wouldn't jack up on my Barkers. It is aluminum and I'd think it would dent.

"front rear" swing arm stand? What's that? Didn't think you could get the shock out on front and rear stands

I don't think that'd help remove the shock.

I wouldn't jack mine using the Barker, whip it off and use something padded under the motor..

Yeah it comes off so easy, just pull it off. Its just the two clamps and the bracket. Its not worth the risk.

Try using ratchet straps and hanging the bike from above.
