Re:Jack stands? 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago

Lot of work for nothing.

Get two 2x8's long enough to span the frame. Name them together.

Raise the bike with the jack forward of the balance point, the rear of the bike should want to stay down. Lift the rear of the bike and slip the 2x8's edgewise under the rear part of the frame. You can put the cutoffs of the 2x8 flat on top if you want more height. Lower the bike so that it rests on the 2x8.

Solid as long as you don't try to push the bike around.
