Made up jack stand for NC700X

Kyonic · Apr 7, 2013

Hello I was just tinkering around in the garage and placed a 1/2 piece of plywood on the top of a floor jack. I then put this under the shock assembly on the bike and jacked it up. I balanced it all out with a couple pieces of wood under the side stand. Just a cheap way to make a stand to work on the bike.

Post a pic of it up on the jack if you get a chance. Is it steady or do you have to use straps to balance it?

My "pitbull" stand I've used for my last 3 bikes is probably safer. Cost about $85 and fits under the rear swingarm lifting the rear wheel about 2".

This stand can be purchased at any dealership through Tucker Rocky

Pickup either end this way for just one price.

Or you could get this on the cheap.Motorcycle Swingarm Rear Stand
And if you manage to find a 20% coupon, it'd be even cheaper.

Yep.I got one.not easiest to use (compared to spool stands for sport bikes, but it does the job.cost me 25 $ or so.

And if all you need is to lift the rear wheel to lube tha chain, there's this:

To lube the chain, I take a small floor jack, place it under the shock and jack up just enough to get the rear tire off the ground while it is using the side stand as the second ground point.
