Hi Guys n Gals. I am about to remove both front and rear shocks to send them away for servicing. Any ideas as to the best method of supporting the bike with forks and rear shock off. All ideas much appreciated.

| I use a "bottle jack" under the sump to keep it upright - easy to get the right height  |

A motorcycle/atv jack. put a piece of plywood underneath, take off side fairings, run ratcheting straps from one side to the other to a point on the atv jack, tighten down so it wont fall off the jack or tip over. Works very well.
