Great idea. If I can find it, I will post a photo of a quick-jack being used to facilitate a front tire tube change. That was the only time I ever photographed a tire repair on my KLR, so, unfortunately, I will never be able to post photos of the log, the rock, the stump, the hammer handle, the saddle bag, or the rope over a tree branch that I have used from time to time to effect a tire repair or other field repair, or of the many times I have used an atv lift for tire changes or other maintenance at home, all of which have combined to convince me that a center stand on a KLR is dead weight, purely superfluous.
