Well how do you do it when removing front wheels, adjusting forks, etc.? Beer crate? Sling? Trolley jack with home made cradle? Enquiing minds (well one) wants to know.

Terry,
if you have a garage then invest in an Eazy Rider Bike Lift. They make special parts to lift Monsters

I've got mine fitted (but no side stand though - must find one to go on...

To raise the front I use car axle stands under the fork legs, with bean bag type things to prevent any scratches.

Sir, is there any chance you can post pics of the bolt area of the stand ? How close to your tyre is the support brace of the stand?

Christ on a bike! £280! Then £39 for the Ducati conversion! It's nice, but I think I might go with the axle stand/beanbag/bicks & chocs interface. That said the Bike-Grab looks good with a scissor jack.
