get the rear tire off the ground, or could anybody recommend a good stand for a bike with single sided swingarm? Ive seen a few that use the axle nuts, but it seems like that would eliminate the most popular use of the stand - removing the rear tire. Any suggestions?

The easiest way to get the rear tire off the ground is to just put it on the center stand.

Re: How do you VFR guys..
Personally, I just use the centerstand, but I know guys that use the PitBull because they have aftermarket exhaust that eliminates the stock center stand....

Oh, but we couldn't do that now could we? Adding 10 lbs for a center stand on a street bike would make it WAY too heavy and thus far inferior to the lighter-weight competition.

Thanks, at first glance it doesen't look like supporting it in that way would allow the wheel to come of, but if they say so i guess its right. What do I know Ive never used a stand before . I miss the easy, inexpensive way of lifting the rear off the ground and putting jack stands underneath both sides of the swingarm.

And no - no stoppies.
