I use a yellow Sears jack for the same purpose. I also like that it keeps the tires off of the concrete during winter storage and it is a lot easier to check the tire pressure and everything before the next ride. The jack has so many uses. When my wife got her Sportster I almost went to buy another jack but found a motorcyle stand with wheels at Harbor Freight for $30 that you jack up the bike and then slide the stand under and then take the jack out and then lift up the RG. Works great.
Looks like my garage! Wife's a nervous wreck when she pulls her car in. We have those "speed-bumps" you drive over to theoretically keep you from pulling up to far. She refuses to park our Honda, which requires backing it in the garage. Nice looking SG, BTW!
Just got one for same reason as you. Was suppose to fit narrow tire. Nope. Still have to strap it. Also, and this might not be an issue for you, but my cover dosen't fit right. Was made to fix when bike is on jiffy stand. Also I wouldd still bolt it to the floor. A few drop-in anchors are worth the extra insurance. JMO
Thanks Woody! We almost bought the speed bumps, but then saw those little stop sign posts and got them instead.
I wish Pit Bull made front and rear stands for HD. That's what I had for my Ducati and it made maintenance and storage so easy.
How much easier can this be. Best solutiion all around. I can put it anywhere in the garage. I can lift and let it down without touching the bike with my hands.
