Time for new tires on the V7.
Any problem with having the front forks on a platform and the rear supported on stand , the whole thing attached to a wall :)
( there is a picture the it strapped to wall here someplace.)

Thanks,
Don
 
With a center stand doable with blocks and a jack. Without a center stand, depends on your balancing skills.
 
Even in Canada, for around $150 CAD, you should be able to get a lift like this which would be a solid way to strap down and lift your motorcycle safely.

This is from Vevor on Amazon.

half an hour of typing - gone !!!
( while eating )

The one I tried was a Wee bit to high to slide under the bike with a Contraption I made , that sat on top - that fit onto the frame cross member near where the Center stand mounts, and begin lifting it without a * helper*

Once it was up - I expected it to be a bit less Wobbly that it was, and returned it.
( I am sure some are built better than others... the one I got was Not )

I have two options - Drive the hour down to the shop where i bought the tires and dothen one wheel at a time there.
Of I have a wooden " Crib stand" that the center section of the frame will sit on.
There is a third option that involved borrowing someone time mounting stand... :wasntme:

I've been using the Stein-Dinse center/service stand in combination with a Daytona jack and wood block supporting the sump, AND jack stands supporting the forks. Works for me, and seems very stable.
 
I use a lift very similar to the one in the picture. I have a large block of wood that I cut on a band saw to the curve of the sump. I strap the bike to the lift to prevent a drop. I haven't taken both wheels off at the same time. I probably will never have to as I have tire changing equipment so I can do one at a time.
