regular jack to change a tire?
hey guys, im getting ready to slap a new rear tire and i was wondering, i dont have a centerstand or lift but i do have a regular jack
could i use the regular jack with a plate on it ?
i know i used to change my own tires ages ago and i dont even think i used a jack bakc then but those days are blurry at best

In the olden days i used to use a milk crate with some 2x4s stacked up on it. I've also used a firewood round piece stood on end. I now have a lift for my quads that works and I have an overtall milk crate from Cycle gear.

I use a version of this.. http://www.motosport.com/dirtbike/BIKE-CRATE
Has served me well over the period of several bikes. Strong enough to support an XR400, so it'll handle just about anything.

That looks just like the 5 gallon water cooler jug crates. HmmmmOLHILLBILLY wrote:I use a version of this.. http://www.motosport.com/dirtbike/BIKE-CRATE
