i seen a post some where.....i got a flat and my lazy self didnt buy a front or rear stand. so i am gonna try a ghetto way. i have a new front tire but not sure on how to lift the front without a stand. I was thinking a engine stand attached to my frame sliders.....any thoughts?
 
Not the most official way. I've had success using a nylon rachet tiedown strap. Looped over a rafter beam in the garage. The strap looped around the underside of the front frame. Surprizing how much leverage those tie down rachets have.
Gets exciting when releasing the rachet to let the bike down. Protect the widshield and bike using a towel or moving blanket. Stand back with a long screw driver and pry the lock
