I saw a post here with various methods to hold the bike while removing forks, now dont laugh but i didnt have stands or a beam etc to hold mine when i removed mine, but what i did have was a set of tyres for my car and a board car shelf thingy..

Its surprisingly stable as the board supports the length of the pipes and the paddock stand holds the rear up.

Heres a pic

one thing comes to mind... http://thereifixedit.failblog.org/

Hey, if it does the job don't knock it !!!

I might be posting some pictures of my own "random things holding the bike up" as I don't have a stand either

Thanks for the responses guys a lot kinder than i expected hehe, but I just had to get the forks out had an hour spare at work and thought what the hell!! its done the job like evilchicken said and just the right height to slide the wheel back into place.

Dogmatic- Wasnt my idea but all the axle stands were in use and I just thought what the hell its level so go for it.. I do admit it looks strange tho

Ace.
A trolley jack and some bits of wood under the exhaust works well!
