Excellent choice!

In any event, I don't care to work that hard, especially when my Husky jack allows me to quickly, and securely lift either wheel.

Of course, one can also install the CSC centerstand. However, I have heard it takes a good bit of upper body strength, and a strong back, to get the RX3 up on that centerstand. Since my aging back has seen better days, I would rather let my Husky jack do all the work.

The current house was purchased without all these additional vehicles in mind and it occupies a goodly portion of the lot, leaving hardly any room for a shed - ah the things I will have to keep in mind when we move and "downsize" |

Not saying that you're not familiar with the technique, Spud. I'm saying that I wasn't. I thought that I needed to pull from the bars to rock the bike onto the stand, but I actually needed to pull from the rear bar / carrying rack. It seemed so counter-intuitive to me, but it worked very well.

I have a motorcycle specific jack from Sears Craftsman that I use on all my bikes, and with the addition of a block of wood have made it functional for the RX-3. The bike is stable,but adding a couple of tie down straps ensures a higher level of safety. It also lifts both wheels off the ground easily.

Thanks for your input, George. That's a nice jack.
I see you have the rear support placed all the way behind the centerstand mounts.

i have found that standing on the left side, i bend down slightly,enoughto grab the passenger footpeg mounting bracket with my right hand,,an with my lefthand on the handlebar .i can usually get it up on the stand on the second '' rock''...oh an of course my foot is on the centerstands ''tab'' to hold it on the ground. it works better for me than when i was trying to use the passenger seat grab rail,,as it was too high an i could not get any leverage.

I had initially omitted the wood block, but the bike rocked on the two "legs" behind the center stand mounts. The block provides a more secure base.
