Why a wheel vice instead of a wheel chock?
I've got one that's being unused, but when / if I sell my lift it'll come as part of that package.
Never even considered using it in all honesty, just prefer the wheel chock.
If the Scrambler doesn't sell I need to figure a way to support the Scrambler in order to take off the rear wheel, chain, and both sprockets as that's next on the agenda.
Not sure where I can place my small scissor lift under the bike that won't damage anything:
The rear swing arm has a stupid angle to it that the bike slides off every time I place it....maybe it will hold still if the front is in the wheel chock.
Might just have to lift it and then place that spot on jack stands.
Jobs involving fluids are often easier with a vise. Manufacturers design their bikes for stuff involving fluid to be done with the bike level. A chock will lift the front end up, vice won't. Vice makes it easier for complete draining (oil) / easy filling (brake fluid) / level checking (everything).
Any work not involving fluids you're just fine with the wheel chock so if that's what you prefer, enjoy it, you're good!
Cool thanks for that explanation! I did not even consider that aspect of it.
I shall keep the wheel vise then!

If you have a stable front wheel chock, then I'd be comfortable using a generic non-spooled rear swingarm stand after the front is secured. I may even have an old Hindle in my basement you can borrow, but will have to check in case I already lent it out to someone else and forgot.
Sweet thanks! I've got the ones below. Great for lifting the tire, but useless for removing it as the bike is supported on them when lifted:

This is the stand that's recommended...but that's awfully expensive for my use case...
Ducati Scrambler 800/Monster 797 Pitbull Rear Stand - Bayside Performance

You can see the curve in the support pad that matches the curve of the swingarm where the bulk of the issue is.
I'm still on the hunt for a center stand while the bike is for sale...but not many out there used and I'm not spending $400 for kicks.

@mimico_polak i have an abba stand I can lend you if you get the fittings for your bike. Might cost $100 shipped. Can get your money back on resell. I've seen ppl makeshift their own but I'm guessing safety is priority.
Before abba I was using simple steel pipe with racket straps to do all sort of maintenance on all my bikes. Free stuff put together, only cost was my time to build it.
You do have a front stand, yes?

This is why I love GTAM! Lots of helpful people always willing to help out a Polak in need.
If the Abba stand falls through (metaphorically, not literally, I hope), I've used a trail stand to remove the rear wheel in a pinch.
I'm in town for a few more days and can ride over with it anytime and lend you a hand if it's single use. I heard your MIL makes good pierogis...
If you need one of your own, you can buy one here:
I think @timtune has also made one himself as well.

Just buy a center stand for the Scrambler?
Or are we still doing the "This will be the year..." song and dance about selling it?
