lifting bike to work on

[LightningXB12s04]

Hey everyone. Sorry for this question I'm sure it was asked many times but I couldn't seem to find anything when I searched.What the easiest way to lift your bike up to change tires or just work on it. I used a bike lift the last time but had to take the nose faring off and the exhaust. Not really feeling like doing that again. well any suggestions are much appreciated thanks

I used an engine hoist and lifted mine up by the frame when I was swapping it from an r to an s

Here's an exhaust cradle that I've seen used on another forum. Supposedly makes it Very stable when lifted and fits like a glove:

Also seen people using tie-down straps wrapped through the bike and up to ceiling joists and stuff.

T-Rex stands, front and rear. Little cheaper than pitbulls and work great. Stands come in handy for tons of applications. Suck it up and buy a front and rear and you'll find yourself using them all the time.
