Oil change question

I'm thinking about changing the oil in my EG myself, but there is one problem with this idea, the drain pan that I have for my other vehicles is too tall to fit under the bike. Anyone know who makes one that will fit under the bike without me having to buy a lift?

Just about any auto parts store should have an assortment of drain pans.
I don't have any name brands though, but I've seen plenty of low profile drain pans at auto parts stores.

An aluminum turkey pan will work also, I used one coming back from Sturgis in the hotel parking lot.

I just use the old frying pan.

Never have to worry about my scrambled eggs sticking to it either.

Last time used a frying pan to drain the oil, when did the eggs in the morning everyone thought I was Cajun because the eggs were blackened ....
