Lifts the rear wheel with ease, so a flat repair or chain lube is a cinch. But I cannot position it to be able to lift the front wheel (the bike just pivots around the kick stand, since the since the balance of the T7 is rear-biased.
With the UltraLight Dual Sport Trail Jack Stand it is very easy to raise one of the wheels off the ground to fix a flat. It the lightest on the market.
The products above make mention that "on some bike the Front Wheel can be raised", leading me to think that a different stand may not do any better, and that Cory's suggestion @Camel ADV is a very practical one to find a rock or log to roll under the bash plate?
Or: has anyone actually lifted the front wheel with one of the above? If so, where did you position the top hook? I was thinking that the front finned side of the camel-ADV Bash Plate provides a long suitable slot , and the position of that slot is in a more forward position than any I have tried (my Unit model does not fit small holes/slots).

Question

Last bit of scrambling getting ready for my longest trip so far, and I have a question about "trail-side" stands:
I own one of these:https://www.chapmoto.com/unit-motorcycle-products-c5010-emergency-side-stand.html?sku=832-C5010&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr_LazInw-QIV9R6tBh0-9QyNEAQYBCABEgLknfD_BwE
Lifts the rear wheel with ease, so a flat repair or chain lube is a cinch. But I cannot position it to be able to lift the front wheel (the bike just pivots around the kick stand, since the since the balance of the T7 is rear-biased.
So I've asked questions about these:
Rolling Mavericks Ultralight Enduro Trail Jack Stand
Enduro Star / Trail Stand
The products above make mention that "on some bike the Front Wheel can be raised", leading me to think that a different stand may not do any better, and that Cory's suggestion @Camel ADV is a very practical one to find a rock or log to roll under the bash plate?
Or: has anyone actually lifted the front wheel with one of the above? If so, where did you position the top hook? I was thinking that the front finned side of the camel-ADV Bash Plate provides a long suitable slot , and the position of that slot is in a more forward position than any I have tried (my Unit model does not fit small holes/slots).
Thanks for any help and replies.
Chris
