[QUOTE="PhilJet09, post: 1276399, member: 20341"] My rear sliders mount to a bracket that bolts in two places on the muffler bracket and one place on the back side of the foot peg bracket, so the load is shared by both the subframe and main frame. The popular method of hanging the bike from either a ceiling mount or some type of gantry places all the load on the subframe only, so in that regard my way is at least as good. I service my rear suspension link pivots every year like this without issue. Note: either way you support the rear, if the front tire is supporting the front of the bike, do NOT let the handle bars turn. The twisting motion destabilizes the whole bike and a few have ended up on their sides. If I've got the back on stands, I always put the front on stands too, whether I'm pulling the front apart or not. I'm not familiar with how the Canyon Cages mount to the bike. [/QUOTE]
