Hi all - did a search and didn't really want to hijack old threads. But I'm seeking advice on how to lift the front end to unload pressure on the suspension. Im basically planning to do a fork seal clean on the left side - as I notice a really minor leak after riding. Not enough to even drip down the side unless I leave it for a couple of days without wiping it.

I saw a few threads that show a combo of rear stand and jack on the headers, as well as the ladder and ratchet strap combo. I really wanted to build one of those DIY type block lifts - but it seems there's nowhere on the bike for it to evenly sit.

So what's the best way to do this without a hoist?

Thanks in advance!
