I got it onto the stool by leaning it to one side while inserting boards under the lifted side, then alternating. Later I bought a hydraulic motorcycle lift from Pep Boys on sale for $50. They probably cost more now. But I've used it on many of the bikes I've owned since the Transalps and it sure makes maintenance easier. Another alternative would be to use a hydraulic "bottle jack" under the center of the bike to lift one end and place jack stands to hold it up while you work on the front end. Or, if you have a ceiling beam in the garage and a block and tackle, hoist the front end by the handlebars till it's off the floor. Or, I've seen enduro riders lay the bike on its side to change the tires. If you have something to cushion the bodywork, that might be an option. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Milt<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 11:19 AM, Burr, John H UTAS via Tanx <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tanx@micapeak.com" target="_blank">tanx@micapeak.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
