So I'm starting to think about storing the bike for the winter. Going to order a battery tender, as opposed to trashing my batteries every winter. I'm also looking in to a solution for raising the front wheel off the ground whilst raising the rear wheel with the center stand. Is there a front wheel stand that might be extra compatible with this? I'm storing it outdoors, so I'm thinking cardboard/carpet aren't a great option. I'd appreciate any advice/suggestions.
Thanks!
$20 floor jack (or the factory jack out of a junk car) would be a cheap option.

There are track-stands that will hook under the front forks. If you do that I would try to strap it somehow so it's doesn't tip over on accident.

I've actually seen that post before, but was wary of propping the bike up that way over the winter due to stability concerns. Thanks for the suggestions, guys!
