Sump as a jacking point

[LoftCol]

Good afternoon, what are the thoughts on using the sump to lift the bike? Someone in the past has welded a homemade swinging arm brace to the bike, which means that the centre stand doesn't fit. I am limited on space and want to Jack the bike up and turn 180 degrees so it is pointing in the opposite direction. I will spread the load by using a large as possible wooden block. Cheers

I've put a small bottle jack under the sump to lift the front tire off the ground while it was on the center stand in order to change the front tire. In your case I'd be thinking about using some small wooden blocks under the frame rails then a longer one between those blocks to hold the weight.

Yep, distribute the weight as wide as possible.
