    Take off the side cover and tank and use some truck tires to lay it over on. Piece of rubber mat maybe under the end of the bars. I laid my skunk over on tires and a rolled up huge roofers tarp when i replaced the stripped out oil pan drain. Never hurt a thing.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      The handy thing about that, is you can simply lay a sheet of ply over both bikes for those formal dining occasions.

        Real ply, Luxury. We used to dream of plywood. However I digress............
        The ladies can use the mirrors for nose powdering ( that sounds wrong in today's vernacular ) , the servants can be summoned with the horn ( so does that ) and on those colder apres-hunt days you can warm your feet on the crankcases.

            ^^ Hey Jordan,

            I went on the road from Delaware to New Mexico in Oct 2013 trailing my bike. I stayed out there 10 months and had a blast on my 750T. She got some improvements done to her and I brought her in the first floor apartment most nights. All I did was clean her dirty undercarriage while laying on the floor and watching TV during the work week. We'd spend weekends together and she always got me home.
