The first time I realized my bike lift wouldn’t work on my V7111 Stone I whipped up this wheel chock from scrap lumber . It works on both wheels . The left side angle brace is held on with two 5 inch by 1/4 lag screws I tighten up with a drill against the wheel. Just loosen enough to get wheel in then tighten it up . With it on rear wheel I use a small floor jack under motor to lift front wheel . With it on front wheel I put jack under frame crossmember behind canister. I find it best to compress front forks with ratchet strap from handlebar to wheel chock to prevent whole bike from lifting. The key to rear wheel install is to get rear of bike high enough so wheel goes in without tilting . I had already removed reflectors from rear fender .
I put a mark on masking tape on rear wheel indicating where gap between Cush rubbers is . I do the same on rear drive where a vane is . I rotate rear drive so one is on top . Once wheel is under fender lower bike to proper height . I go a little too low then jack it up slowly keeping wheel tight to left side till holes line up . Put axle in without spacer and caliber bracket and raise rear slightly. Rotate wheel till marks line up and push in place . I then put a cedar shim under wheel to support it and pull axle out while holding wheel against rear drive . You can now put in the spacer and calliper bracket and insert axle . The rest is easy .
Because wheel stays upright without getting banged around Cush rubbbers shouldn’t fall out . 7EF85384 F254 47AB BAF7 04C1FF77331C 8906BDE5 7510 41D9 BC4D B5C7EE60A9EC 7EF85384 F254 47AB BAF7 04C1FF77331C 8906BDE5 7510 41D9 BC4D B5C7EE60A9EC
 
That is a great idea!

I have the jack below and I put it underneath the motor parallel to the wheel axels and place a couple of 1/2" thick 3x12 planks under the motor on each side and jack up the V7 III without issue.
