I use two pieces of 5/8" plywood, stacked. 12" bye maybe 2 or 3 feet long? Cause that is what I have laying around. Layed flat , put down the side stand, center the wood where the center stand is and pull. I would think a Piece of 2x8 layed flat would do just as well.
Scotty, it is good to know you can lift the fender in a pinch, on the side of the road. Or even in the garage. Did you have any issues with the notch,in the front of the fender, where it sits in the rubber bush?
