If you've got a rear paddock stand you can very carefully put a block of wood under the exhaust headers (assuming they are not made of rust) and jack it up that way, but it's not very stable.
You're best off with a headstock type front paddock stand, but again you can't use it without a rear paddock stand.

An ABBA stand is reasonably priced and will keep the bike stable, and to be honest, the ABBA stand is the only way I'd be comfortable using a jack under the front of the bike due to it's shape.

Whatever you do, don't just jack up the front end without any other support... it won't work and you might end up with a bike on top of you. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F
Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another. |

Used a sheet and some old paving slabs to keep the back end weighed down, worked no problem!
Fork seal job wasn't to bad either just a bit messy! |
