Cool Training Wheels....help

Hello Everyone..
I have a 2015 Ultra Low.. I tore a few tendons in my right shoulder and am having a hard time picking my bike up. I saw the Leg up wheels, not really what I'm looking for. I thought I saw some that mount to the frame and come down when you slow down under the frame, not via the passenger floorboards. I'm not looking for permanent, just temporary. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

If by "picking up your bike" you mean getting it up off the jiffy stand, you can look into a couple of the center stand options..

I've used Wheel dock products and find them well built. I have not used the center stand, but read some good reviews about it...

Before spending any money, you can try this method.... Before or after straddling your motorcycle, turn the front wheel all the way to the right... That puts the bike in a more upright posture, then put on the front brake and push. It kind of rolls up off the jiffy stand...

Not sure what you’re describing as “picking my bike up”. If using your legs/lower body as well as upper is too difficult to get it up off the stand and hold it, then it would be smarter IMO to just wait it out until you’re strong enough, rather than spend a bunch of money now on a temporary solution.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone.. Mr. Mike.. I would prefer not to spend the 4000.00 on the Leg up, the other ones I saw were around 1500.00. Much more doable and I don't know when or if my shoulder will get better.
Hattitude, Thank you.. I already stand my bike up with the method you mentioned, I will look at the center stands also. Thank you
Kawickrice, have you seen these personally? I've seen the videos, that one runs about 3500.00


Thank you gentlemen

I have not seen one in action but i did see one in a parking lot at a rally. $3500 is pretty steep but if it gets you riding it may well be worth it. I know your situation about holding up the bike, myself its my knees. A sidcar rig did the trick for me.
