I'm looking for suggestions about jacking up the rear wheel for chain maintenance. Centerstand? Pit jack? Any thoughts?
Thanks, Tom

Requires more effort or skill in rocking it onto the stand but I've heard of smaller guys (150lb) putting a NC that was lowered 1.5" - 1.75" they were younger guys though 30's I thinkNot to veer from the question, but I would like to lower my bike a bit and it has a centerstand (CS). I understand that lowering the bike makes the CS harder to use. Any others out there lowered their bike and had to modify the CS or remove/replace it? How much can you lower the bike and still use the CS? Or what other workarounds are there? I want to lower but would not like to lose the CS.

My NC was lowered when I bought it, somewhere around 1.5-2". I installed a center stand on it then utilized it when raising it back to stock height. It was a little more difficult to raise onto the center stand while lowered, but to what degree, I guess that depends on physical traits. I am 6'1" 225 and while I could tell a difference in ease of raising it onto the center stand after raising it back to stock height, it wasn't drastic. However, if you struggle getting it onto the center stand now, you may have a problem once lowering it. But if you can throw it up on it with no problem now, it probably won't be that big a deal when you lower it.Not to veer from the question, but I would like to lower my bike a bit and it has a centerstand (CS).
