it CAN'T be this easy...suspension/ tire time. just put my hawk up on the cheap motorcycle jack that my son bought for us to work on cruisers with. with kickstand up the bike rests on exhaust and lower fairing/ oil pan. real stable with bungee on one side and ratchet tie down on other. both wheels off ground and nothing in the way unless i needed to pull the exhaust. these jacks are about $100 or so at auto parts places. was going to fab up a stand to sit on the jack, but don't have to yet. wheels on the bottom so you can move the bike around, too. pictures later if i can figure out how.
