That's hilarious. I had a thread with the exact same title about the rear stand i made.
I like your ingenuity. I love seeing how everyone jacks their bike up on svrider in order to do the shock swap.
How do you like the GSXR shock now? I loved the suspension changes on my SV, completely different bike now.

I took the two stools and the back of a bowflex and just lifted it up on to the books.

I just used a come-a-long from a rafter to pick my subframe up when I did mine a long time ago. Use what you got though
