What about axle stands under foot rests or hang it from rafters onto rear subframe

I did it this way. I was doing a lot of work on the bike at the time and as you can see I had a lot of the bits off the bike. I placed a bar through the sub frame and got roadrunner to do all the lifting for me, he's got more muscle than me.

Hmmm! That looks suspiciously like my axle stands and steel bar

Should I have said WE did it like this? You're name was mentioned in dispatches. I'd be lost without you matey.

Cheers, axle stands it is then. Ive found a nice place to slide a nice piece of 2x2 just behind the sump, i will need to take the exhaust off which needs a good sand down anyway and the side stand bracket.

Years ago I sat mine on axle stands just under the bottom of the frame next to the footrests.
As far as I can remember the frame is a different size on both sides so the axle stands need to be set differently.
