Sorry if this sounds cheeky.
Is there anyone in the South East (i live near Windsor) that would be kind enough to lend me the use of a front paddock stand that fits a 748 that would allow me to get the forks off while i get the seals changed , sorry if this sounds a bit cheeky but funds are a bit tight at the moment to buy one.

front stand may not help unless it sits under the headstock?? I put a trolley jack under the engine and suspended from the rafters in my garage to do mine

I usually just hang mine from the roof using a ratchet strap with a rope backup. Almost any ratchet strap will hold 200kg.

Cheers,

Ali
