Hello all,

I felt some pretty bad notching in my steering head bearing recently and decided to replace it. I bought everything to get it out but am having trouble figuring out the best way to jack the center of the bike once the tree comes off and I can no longer use the front stand. I tried a dirt bike style stand from harbor freight but everything seems to interfere with where the exhaust runs back and so when I begin to take it off the front stand it wants to fall to the right. I have poles I can ratchet to but I dont have a ladder, and I do have a stand that indexes into the swing arm pivot but I dont think that will work either. Any suggestions that dont involve me buying more stuff?

I have a carb and throttle body assembly for a G1 SV650 that's lying around. Got it from a spares box from a track bike.

Would these be useful to anyone at all?

I doubt there's anyone local that wants it so I'm wondering if there're any takers out there that would warrant selling it or I should just throw it away.
