    The bike was very stable as it is on the center stand. No need to tie the front end down.
    I backed it onto my blue stand and I was surprised how far back the bike was. Next time I will kept it closer to the deck.

    Jack I didn't say tie the front end down. I said run a strap from the center stand to the front crash bar. Keeps the bike from rolling off the center stand while you work.

    That is a good idea.

    I do it all the time with the bike on my lift on the center stand. That's how I change my rear wheel. I hang it off the back of my rack. The ratchet strap is just a little security when you're shaking things around. By the way , that's a good looking bike. Love the color. Fast Black.

    You guys have given me a way I never thought of before. I work at a tire shop and I do believe I'll use our alignment rack when it's time. Just need to make sure the ramp part won't interfere.
    “Gibraltar” 2016 white deluxe has been sold.

    Wayne a lot of times the ramp part comes off easily. You ride the bike up on the rack then put it on the center stand. Put the ratchet strap on like I suggested the drag the bike back to where it hangs off. I raise the rack up to where I can sit on my roller stool under it and remove the wheel. Its just that easy.
