When I get out of bed this morning I’ll go and measure the bike as I’m not sure the dimensions between wheels etc to see if this one fits. If it does I’ll order it today

While the bike jack and dolly are certainly great and inexpensive ideas, me thinks the bike jack may be the better option. You can perform minor maintenance easier on your bike while the bike is upright and at a higher height. Also makes for easier putting air in the tires and cleaning the wheels. But your choice ultimately.

The HF item is "ok" but, just "ok" for motorcycles that weigh under say about 400ibs, but I would never use it or trust it with a 900-1,000lb motorcycle.......NEVER!! (but that's me). Not enough support and probably difficult to roll with such tiny wheels, in addition to, i bet, difficulty loading on to it and unloading with the addtional height it probably raises the cycle off the ground.
Not even sure if HF even sells it anymore.

Think carefully about how neat and disciplined you are at keeping floor space clear just so you can spin your bike around on a dolly or jack.
Think too if that is the only place or situation you would ever find a reverse gear useful.

I installed Motor trike reverse kit on my Harley almost 10 years ago and use it every day. It has worked so far.
I also want to try it on Indian motorcycle and have emailed Indian so many times. But still no luck. No aftermarket kits available for Indian yet.
