Front End Lift For Rally Pro

I was wondering what folks have used for a front end lift for the Rally Pro.

I have both front and rear Vortex Paddock stands. Rear works fine. But the front, with the the 21” wheel and 230mm of travel, the front stand isn’t tall enough to fit the pin. Trying to avoid building a set of lift blocks (2X8’s and 2X4’s etc…) but if that’s the only way, I will go that route. I have an “A” frame that I can hang the front from, but it takes up too much room.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Cheers,

RD

I use both methods. The floor jack works fine for something quick but the paddock stand provides better stability for longer jobs.

Agree…

After spending years as an owner operator of a motorcycle shop, the “Just put a floor jack under it” method is well... just asking for trouble. The number of bikes fallen over that way is just too numerous to count. The mechanic involved was always “I was only planning on leaving it that way for a short time”… right :rolleyes:

It looks like I gotta go up like 4” and never thought of the larger wheel… don’t know if I can find one but great option! Thanks!

Cheers,

RD
