Bike Stand

[rwhaleyii]

Does anyone living near Hanford have a bike stand I can borrow to change out sprocket and chain. Not sure if it makes a difference but I have a 97 600F3. Thanks

No I do not have spools on the rear.

No I do not have spools on the rear.

Bummer:( I could have let you use my rear stand if ya did.

Could always try the tow straps hanging from the rafters trick.

I considered that but the ceiling in my garage has sheetrock on it.

That's where I got the idea. :evilgrin0013:

I hate my bike but I love the center stand. :D

[rwhaleyii]

That is all and well but I have no rafters and hoisting just the rear seems unstable considering. Hell I can use a floor jack but still need to borrow a front stand for stability.

Is your rear stand a swing arm or rear spool.

[NightStalkeR1]

I have a pit bull stand that you can use. I work in the Hanford area so I can meet up with you if you like. My stand will work with spools and just using the swing arm.

I have one that is swingarm, the rest are all spool. I don't really trust it though.

That will work. Just let me know when. I live off N 11th above the longs drug. I might even get to ride this weekend.:D

[rwhaleyii]

ok I still need a stand. I tried the hoist thing yu guys mentioned great idea:idea: bad results.:weirdface: I do not have the rafters needed to support it. Not to include the damn bike wanted to sway on me and I am only one person. LOL

Bottom line need a stand.

[DynoDynge]

I have a couple, that I am not using, if you still need one

Thanks for the offer dynge. I ended up using a tow strap and the garage door support beam to raise it and turned out great. Seems to be the norm for us backyard mechanics. LOL

Get some rear spools Ron and you'll never have to hoist it up in the garage again!:rolleyes:
