Got a car jack? Big tool box? Garage with rafters and some ratchet straps? It's easily bodged.
This always struck me as a great idea:

hi, I'm new to the forums and believe its best to reply to a thread if related....Thought I would share how I was able to install my fork gaiters without a jack!
I live in an apartment block and have limited tools and experience but after much research felt confident to try this.
I took my bonneville next door to the playground and parked my bike under the monkey bars. I then used a ratchet (tie down) rope to hook the handle bars to the rope and the other end to the monkey bars above. Then used the ratchet to lever the bike off the ground!
Just loosened the tree bolts and removed brake calibre and bingo, was able to slide the forks out and install the gaiters. Reversed the process and off i went.. maybe took 20mins.
Hope it helps someone
