If you have 4-1 exhaust (4-2 might be in the way), put a small floor jack under each side of the frame up towards the front. You can put old inner tube in between if you're worried about scratching the frame. With the bike on the sidestand, raise the right jack up first just barely lifting, then lift the left side. Raise the right side a bit more if necessary. Very stable this way.2H7 (79) owned since '89
