Borrow somebodys garage -

Loop a ratchet strap through the seat frame & up over a sturdy roof truss - tighten strap & bike is now on a front stand with the back in the air!

Simples...

only if used through the swing arm bolt holes! Scotty actually said about using the footrest brackets in his post.....
ive put the rear up on axle stands under the frame downtubes, under the footrest location, and thats been ok....

That looks positively safe and secure, apparently you can also use bits of timber you may have handy







Dunno if this guy still has all his fingers and toes though
