Default Derby Covers
I bought a new derby cover (Skull) and I have the new seal.... question is do I have to change the oil to install this cover? I just had my oil changed then decided to buy this cover. Any help would be great

Nope, just make sure the bike is upright and you won't lose anything.

You can do it on the jiffy stand, nothing will leak.

I use the same synthetic (Mobil 1 V-Twin) in both, but they are in separate locations.

Maybe you could put a 2x4 under the jiffy stand. Leaning too far might leak.
