The Harbor Freight stand (that's been discussed on here alot if you search 'stands') has front end adapters you can get for $10. I used it for the first time last month when I took off my front wheel. It worked good, but I did need another person to help get it on the stand, because I couldn't get the leverage and balance the bike at the same time. But once on the stand, it was pretty stable.

I just ordered the Harbor Freight Stand today, and I got the front adapters too. Nice to know that it takes two people for the front.

It's easier to get the front up once the rear is in the air....

i used the harbor freight stand with front adapters one time. had another person help me, and quickly put it back down. just made me a little more nervous than i wanted to be.

The harbor freight rear stand is good, I've personally used it. But on other bikes where the swingarm isn't as smooth it can be difficult.

Now for the front, I've heard some stories somewhere where it isn't as good, I'm considering getting T-Rex Racing front stand since it's good quality yet not that expensive.

not sure the harbor freight stand would work, because i may want to remove my forks at some point..

if i spend the money i might want to get one that goes under the steering pivot point. seems like this kind would be way more usefull.

I think t-rex has front triple tree stands

The steering tube stand would be much better, IMO. The HF one works but not the securest. When I did lift mine up, I then ran straps from the front to my ceiling rafters, just for a little more security.

I have one of those and it worked good on my Harley but to use it on the FZ6R, you would have to lift it under the exhaust. I don't think I wanna do that.
