Cheers mate,thought the car juck under the sump wouldn`t work as these bikes are quite heavy.

Without the front end on it is even lighter..

I use a block of wood between pipes and sump to stop them flexing to much and it sits there no worries..

Side stand down, and use a trolley jack or similar with a small piece of timber on the top, use it under the down pipes - problem sorted

I had both wheels off for weeks on end over the winter until I got a paddock stand!
