Can anyone recommend a front end stand that they've been happy with? Preferably of the sort that lifts from the triple tree to allow front wheel & fork removal.

Starting to plan the winter projects....

Pit Bull Stands. Think most accessory places carry them - Lockhart Phillips, Cyclemall, etc.

Easy to use and sturdy. Even a little person like me can easily work one with some of the big liter bikes.

I second the Pit Bull Stands. Quality stuff!

I put the bike on the centerstand, then put a car battery on the pillion seat, and the front wheel pops up. When I had the fork tubes out, I also ran a tie-down from the rafters to the triple as a precaution. I have also propped-up the block with a 2x4 to keep both tires off the ground when storing the bike.
