Hey Roy,

Have you tried using one of these jacks?
I've seen many similar types and am always leery about putting the entire weight of the K bike on the aluminum oil pan.
The BMW factory stand uses the holes in the engine block (I believe) to support the rear of the bike if you are removing the stands.

I just use a normal 1/4 ton hydraulic car jack under the oil sump to lift the front end up - works fine.

Thanks guys.
I've always worried about that finned aluminum pan.
Now, I guess I can watch for the right deal on a cycle jack. I've been screwing around with saw horses all this time.

Similar jack on sale at Canadian Tire for $60 until Thurs (I think). Just bought one but haven't had a chance to even take it out of the box yet.
