Something Old, Something New

[Grumpy Goat]

My front stands are cheap so I do not trust the welds of the supports 100%
Most of the time like today I remove the wheels, next day run to Des Moines to have tires mounted and return home to remount the wheels.
In cases like that the bike is sitting on the stand for a day.
Just in case the welds fail, I place a scissor jack under the engine.
I sleep better that way

Good to have the extra insurance, but based on the "J" shape of the side members, I think that the load is pretty much axial down the "vertical" section and little load is in the diagonal brace. They (and their welds) see most load during the lift. Good setup though.
