put the rear on the stand, take off hump , put a strap around sub-frame located under the hump and cum-a-long the weight of the bike up( we used the cum-a-long over the garage main I-beam )....this takes the weight off the suspension so you can adjust the height of the bike up or down for the bones installation. Exhaust= from where the mid-pipes start, on back, will need to be removed also.
