Changing Swingarm techniques?
I will be changing my swingarm this weekend,how do you guys support the bike when swapping out the arms?
I have a bike jack but its useless without some kind of adapters for the different heights on the oil pan.
i think the last time i swung a few ratchet tie downs over the rafters and ran them through the subframe to lift it, but is there a better way?

I flip the foot pegs upsidedown and use car jackstands.

A neighbor Eric I race with has wooden horses set up to suspend the bikes by straps and it works awesome

I've got a 10K# ratchet strap running over a rafter in the roof of the garage.

great idea with the pegs upside down, just don't forget to switch them back before you ride
