i use a abba stand , but you can also put a pair of car axle stands under the front pegs , and use a rear paddock stand at the same time ,

If your bike has a centre stand, then 3 bags of sand on the back of the seat work well

No centre stand? Abba stand is good. Or a trolley jack under the sump (if you can get one in) with axle stands for added stability, or a ratchet strap around the front of the frame and up to a roof joist. All done, and all work

think its gotta be axle stands and a balancing act!!! its the Zed that needs doing, £300 worth of parts steering bearings, oil, filter, plugs, wheel bearing, new tyre, bloody expensive month
