    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

...that even on the centerstand, you should support the front of a bike with a jack BEFORE taking the front wheel off... :idea: And that bored construction workers picking up materials are your best friend :o I should have given that guy a beer!
 
You are the only person in the world who has made that dumb move :lol: :lol:
If i had a dollar for every mistake....... oh well :D
 
Re: I learned today...

It seems to me that because sitting on the centerstand, the bike will be sitting on the front tire and the centerstand with the rear wheel in the air, it would be obvious what would happen. :-) Uhh, I put a concrete block with a 2 x 4 on top of it underneat the engine. Just put the block with 2 x 4 in front of the engine, reach down with your left hand and pick up the front of the bike a couple inches, hold it, and slide the block and wood underneath. The front tire will be a couple inches off the floor. :-)

Also, if you have jack stands, they can serve the same purpose. Just set one under each side of the frame.

It's also a bad idea to try to swap out fork springs with the bike just on the centerstand. I miss my left eye :wink:
