Does anybody have a triple clamp stand that I can borrow on any one of these super duper "long" weekend days? I need to tighten my steering head...
Yes, I do. but I'm soo bust these days you would probably have to come pick it up.... :r6y
Triple clamp stand is wrong for that job. You don't want anything touching forks or triples. Jack it up under engine.

Hun.. this is new info. Every site/forum I go I see people advising to use a stand that goes under the frame on that hole right under the steering column (maybe I used the wrong nomenclature for the stand). But point taken, will do that.. as soon as I have an engine back on my bike!
When you put stand in hole on bottom of stem whole bike weight is supported there, you can,t turn bars easily to feel bearings.
If you unscrew stem nuts on top whole stem will move. It is not how it is done, regardless what internet say.
With motor out it is even easier :)
Did you just call Zoran "hun"?
