Hi Guys,

I don't have a rear stand, so I cobbled together a few things from the garage to get the rear end off the ground. It's not a tool per se, but I think this is the place for it. Here's how to do it.

1. Steal a four foot piece of re bar from a construction site. (Note: You don't actually have to steal it. There is always a big pile of re bar. Just ask someone.)

2. Remove the rubber pieces that protect the swingarm from the chain.

3. Slide rebar through slots behind the footpegs, under the swingarm.

4. Jack rear end off the ground with your floor jack. (What do you mean, you don't have a floor jack? What are you, a girl? Go buy one.)

5. Slide jackstands under re bar and lower bike onto jackstands.

Voila`, your rear end is off the ground and your bike is stable. Enjoy! Here are a few pics.
