Lifting Front Wheel: Harbor Freight Press
« on: July 18, 2022, 06:03:28 PM »
Just thought I’d share an idea in case it helps someone.

A harbor freight press works GREAT to get the front tire off the ground and change a tube. You’ll need something to stand the bike upright, either a center stand, rear tire stand, or a really patient friend. But it worked like a charm! In my case, I don’t have a center stand due to the 4-1 exhaust, but an adjustable rear stand that my wife uses for her Ducati Monster works great. Here are some pictures as evidence!
