Same here (minus the straps). Never had issues with the pipes. I had to replace the rubber pads on the jack when I got it free from my neighbor, but it works nice for the few times I've wanted to lift the whole thing off the ground. Much too big to slide under there and do any work under the bike, and clearance may make it difficult to add much of a "brace" between the jack and the bike.1980 XS850SG - Sold

___________ On the centerstand , pull the back wheel, rock bike backwards and block under the oil filter housing whatever height needed to remove front wheel. normal procedure for me when putting on two new tires. Works for what your doing too....81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment

My bike must be different than the norm. It must be the air shocks in the rear. When on the center stand it couldn't pick the rear more than an inch off the ground. I'd like it a little higher than that.Originally posted by motoman View PostDon

Thats plenty high enough to remove back wheel then rock it back on centerstand so front is off the ground to remove................or put a short 2x4 under centerstand to get rear off ground farther, but that will make it more difficult putting the rear wheel back on......Originally posted by ddragon63 View Post81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment
