thanks
John

If you've got a stealth just use that to lift the bike
More serious note consider the Maz grease nipple mod

Use a paddock stand and a Yoke stand.....

Cheap enough on e-bay....

I had a quick look some time ago and it's difficult finding a cheap one wide enough for the rear... 18 inch wide was the minimum clearance for the xb I think.

Micron one with cups works fine, I got one for £12 on begay...

I looked at a micron, was too narrow...are their different types / sizes?

Put your foot on it and stretch it

Not that I am aware of...

I have one like this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Micron-rear-p ... 5ae9fd8108

And it fits all my Buells from S1 to Uly (also fitted my 1125 before Fozberry bought it)...

There is some give in the width and can be manipulated like Adam says...

Or just get a regular trolley jack - use the front or back part of the muffler to lift under (making sure you pad the jack with a folded up tea towel or something so you don't scratch up your exhaust) - only gets one wheel up at a time (resting on the 'other' wheel and side stand) but very simple and I've personally found paddock stands too flimsy... but might just be my bad experience.

That's exactly how I made one fit my 1125

Also Front Yoke Stands..... e bay item 370535540741

Only £46 Delivered..... Well worth the money...

Or from a different seller.... £85.... Or £224 fer the same item......

And the rear one is wide enough for the xb?

If that question is fer me then I don't rightly know..... As I got mine with me Bike.

However like the others say just bend it a bit.....

do I need to do the breather mod(whats involved) or any other mod?
