NEVER use a front stand without the bike already being on a rear stand. But a jack? Nope, don't need one.

i guess thats for people that don't have a front stand or something... i've worked with a jack under the exhaust before and always felt it to be unstable

If you have rafters in you garage, simply hang the front end from them.
