Bike stand
« on: March 19, 2012, 07:47:28 AM »

Is there anything out there that can keep the bike up straight to change the oils? I have no room for a conventional table lift.

Condor, Bike Pro.
I have both, condor might be better then the bike pro for free standing.

The bike pro free standing adapter is not my first choice.

I have a Condor but for fluid changes, I just put a 2X4 under the jiffy stand.   Levels her out pretty well.

Just a standard old scrap 2x4?  No chrome rivets or polished edges or lamination or Screamin' Eagle engravings or anything?  Just a a piece of wood?  What the hell are you thinking man?!?!?!?!?!

Checking out the video, I'd like the center stand. Wonder if we could get a group discount? Anyone deal with them or have asked for discounting for us here? 8)

If you just want to be able to park the bike upright, the Condor chock works very well for me.  You can get them through HD if you want to pay a premium.  But:

Does it matter that the manual (at least mine from '09) specifies that the oil be changed while the bike is on the jiffy stand?  While the drain plugs are on the left side, I've always accessed the plugs from the right and having the bike leaned over a bit helps.   :confused5:   I use the HD "Low-Profile Oil Drain Pan,"  part #63795-10.  (See picture below.)  It seems to work well and leaves room to get the plugs off & on.  Am I missing something?  It would not be the first time.   :)

Man, those buts will get you every time   :o.  It does surprise me that they say that.  How many HD shops change oil that way?  It does make sense though with the plug on the left.
