    I could have just layed the header on the ground and saved myself the trouble of using a jack.

    If you think thats bad, you should have seen me replacing the rear shock in my FZR last year. With all the straps coming off the ceiling, it was like my own personal trapeze rig.

    I think that's how you're supposed to do it.

    I know a couple people that use that header trick. I've never trusted it. Thats a lot of stress on exhaust tubing that gets brittle over time.

    +1 for proper front stand man.

    the trapeze is the safest way to lift a bike if you don't have the proper lift

    infact I would trust a trapeze long before I would a bike/atv jack

    yea, alot of the shops use the straps to hold it up. i was changing out my rear shock on my old zx7 about 4 years ago and forget to strap mine up. needless to say as soon as the rear spring was out the subframe was touching the swingarm.

    The turn in is incredibly fast, feels like the front end is weightless.
