    And tip-over on the little kid when he goes to get his toys or bike--too scary for even this southern redneck squid especially when kids are involved, they don't know any better...

    Boy, that is just stupid. I thought using a motorcycle jack was stupid cause they dont have failsafes like a jackstand, but that's pathetic. Squirrelman, I'm thinking of something like your setup but designed with the underside of my VF500 in mind. Thanks

    RotoryRocketeer suggested I post this here. No vfr but when you have to do head gaskets on a goldwing and set timing there's only one way, a heavy wrecker.

    I didn't take a pic the other week but had to do wheel bearings on front of my 500f so I put it on center stand and lightly set my forklift forks down on the passenger seat until the front wheel came up good to go
