[QUOTE="zzzzip, post: 393651, member: 270"] Actually, the floor jack is just snug under the pipes for extra overnight security. I only used it to raise the front enough to set the forks on the jack stands before removing the front wheel. The security is in the jack stands, because you can never trust a floor jack to not leak down. I never crawled under a car on a floor jack with out first placing jack stands. The jack stands are a MUST, as the weight is on the stands and the center stand. Thus you have a secure 4 point contact, and the weight is not on the pipes for very long. As long as you don't turn the handle bar, it is a very secure situation, in my opinion. There are better ways, like with the straps from the overhead beams, but I'd still use the stands. For short term ease of use, I like this. B) [/QUOTE]
