Makro motorcycle jack v R1150GS

[BrianS]

Hmm - just bought a s/h one of these to make working on and moving around my R1150GS in the workshop a liitle easier

See:

However, if I jack up on the sumpguard then all I get is a very high front wheel and the rear staying firmly on the ground

The distance between the insides of the rubber protected lift bars is 8". Would it be OK to put the rear support under the centre stand (in the up position of course) to lift the bike?

Can't see how else it would work

Any advice appreciated.
