As long as the support bar will lift evenly under the frame without tipping the bike it should work like a charm. Got a friend who can weld ?? It would be cheaper and a fun project. Weld the handle solid for simplicity. Did this years ago when riding dirt bikes and aftermarket stands were worth far too much. Paint it your favorite color.

I made a set of the real wheel jack stands from scrap wood as per the dimensions and pictures in the forum. They work great; they are sturdy and safe and you can easily set up your bike alone.

Health, age and other reasons considered, I recently sold my GZ250. The new owner had his own rack or jack that he said would work on the GZ, so he did not want them.

They are free for the asking. Local pickup would be better as they are quite heavy and may be expensive to ship.

Sorry to hear you had to hang up the helmet and boots. Age and health gets us all in time.

the stands are a good idea but you can use small floor jack & role it under the swing arm from the right side once in place the bike will be on the kick stand it works perfect
& it will lift it up hight enough to take the rear wheel off adj chain as for the front tire pull the jack out a little way & lift it up the front tire will spin freeley once you get use to it & how to possition the jack its so easy here we go again it cost to much no it dosnt can be used on your auto to.
Its the easy way that works keep a open mine try it I put a rubber pad on my jack 1/4 inch thick

Any chance of installing that rubber pad on top of your keyboard?

I wish your keyboard had a shift key, commas and periods. Though to read. (OK, forget the shift key if you must)
