Front stand for removing forks

Post by yazza54 »

Can anyone reccommend me a stand? I thought the VFR was finished but now I found a leaky fork :(

So to remove I'm going to need a front stand I'm guessing. My Front end is ZXR forks but I'm assuming a vfr stand will be what I need?

Really didn't wanna be taking all this apart again :(

Suppose I'd better buy a fecking ZXR haynes manual aswell to do them.

Any headstock stand will do you. Not cheap though.
Or you could put the bike up on axle stands and use a car jack under the sump.
