A day after I replaced the brake pads the damn thing is doing the bunny hop while stopping. Gonna have to replace rotors. Will rebuild calipers while I'm at it.
I have no garage, no motorcycle jack... The internet is too small to list what I do not have .)
Usually I use a scissor jack against the kickstand. This huge bike kind of scares me! Can I get the front wheel off? The fender looks as if it will need to go very high in the air?
Or go buy the proper tools to do the job yourself and save money in the long run by NOT having to replace all the bent, broken, and scratched parts that are definitely going to get that way when the bike falls. PLUS+++!!!, you save money later by doing a TON of things yourself and not paying an Indie or someone else to do it for you! Pay a little now, save a lot later!
DONT chance it.......besides the possible injury to yourself........think about the damage to the bike if it goes over.........and HOW would you right the bike without a front wheel if it did.
Not sure what type of scissor jack you're talking about but with this kind, I was able to do lot's of different kinds of maintenance on my FLHR before I bought a J & S jack. With this type of scissor jack, you can go under the front part of the frame and get the front wheel, just off the ground. That's all that you need to get the front wheel off if you remove the front fender. Removing the front fender will only add a few minutes to the job. Just tie some rags around each fork to minimize the chance of scratching your fender against them.
