The only way to "make sure" it's lined up is to readjust as you lift (difficult) or tilt the stand.

Also, T-Rex *IS* expensive compared to $32x2. That said, they seem to have the cheapest triple-tree head stand on eBay (unless that was Black Widow... I don't recall). Anyone try T-Rex head stand with an EX250J bike? Last time I googled I couldn't get confirmation.

You don't have to tilt anything. Hold the bike straight up with your left hand, put the stand to the spools with your right hand and then push it down. Something that may help you get used to balancing the bike with your left hand... [whisper] remove the rear seat first and you can get a more secure grip on the bike by grabbing the metal piece that the seat slides into [/whisper] Go try it
