Pulling both wheels off
The pitbull stands say not to use a front stand without using a rear stand. How does everyone pull off their rims? Using a front stand and the center stand?? Or how??
Thanks!!

for the connie I haven't found a way to remove both wheels at once. if you have the back on centerstand and hit the front with a race stand you'll knock it over.
I'll have a way soon, for now i'm liking this bike for a SIMPLE way to take both wheels off

I have pulled both wheels off on the Concours. While on the center stand the weight is biased forward. Just put a milk crate under the forks after removing the front wheel. Then you can remove the other wheel. It has been this way since the center stand was created.
Pit bull probably wants the rear stand to help keep it from tipping, and to sell two stands. They are not thinking of a bike with a center stand.

PIT BULL never went after our connie business. and DB, I've pulled the front wheel off mine, just not at the same time as the back.
I had to put real tires on my connie. and man I've been slinging it around the turns. I'm 3500 miles into a trip and nowhere near Tampa (home)

So what you do to get the front off alone??

Put it on the centerstand and place a 50 lb. weight of some sort on the pass seat. should work, if not add more weight...
