no, he asked how we support our bikes, so I told him. It's not my fault if it doesnt work on his.

the way i see it, triple tree stand is last resort, hate to spend 150+ just to use it once and then sit in a corner
I don't know what the bottom of you motor is like, but you can use a floor jack against the sidestand and it will be sturdy, just don't jack under the oil pan.

You should have a flat part on the bottom of your motor you could use, just don't use the oil pan.

See if you can borrow some stands or something. If you can afford to buy one, it's way worth it in the long run.
