Oh, I gotcha! I wouldn't crawl under it either. It just seems a little too "iffy"!

I lifted my bike up and sat it down on two cinderblocks with a towel ontop of them. if your strong enough to lift a savage it works really well. that and I couldnt afford to make a home-made stand when I changed my rear tire. if not you can lean the bike over on the kickstand and scoot the cinderblock under it then wiggle it on.

are there lots of cinderblocks along the roads where you ride?
It works very well, but it's a big item to bring along with you

Speaking of lifting...check out this photo from Vulcan Riders' website....

Such faith in a sidestand pivot bolt!!


I got no problem getting under it. If I was afraid to get under it, I'd be afraid to park it and walk away.

What I AM wondering about is how the rider got that rear tire riding up the ramp forward and somehow managed to back the front tire up the other ramp. But, it IS a Vulcan, and Vulcans are different. I could get into a corner induced mind meld.

I just bought the cheapest harbor freight lift at a tent sale special for $59.
I used my tale saw and ripped a pice of oak 1/2"x4"x16"  to use as a shim on the left side.   It works perfect.    very steady.   throw on a few straps and off comes the tires for new hoops!!
