I knocked this up to make it quick, easy and consistent for pre flight checks.

I like it. Where did you score the bar end mirror and turn signal block off plates?

In America, "knocking up" has a different meaning. In this instance, Yanks would say "knocked this out". I did have a good chuckle, though.

Mirror is parts of a couple of different mounts, alloy backed reflector (had a couple on my FXDX) and some home made stuff.
They aren't block off plates, they're small LED flush mounted indicators - generic aftermarket stuff - Motrax, I think.

Thats similar to what I use. It also makes it easier to perform oil changes and keeps it upright in the garage ... hence more space.

Got 3 of them for when I haul the bikes in my Toyhauler or have them in the garage like above. Works great if you every have to haul them in a trailer or RV as you only have to use 2 straps from the rear going forward and it does not compress the suspension much.

I've got both the Condor and this Haul-Master budget version from Harbor Freight.

While not as sturdy as the Condor, it does work.

It is the Condor stand. I have one for the 1125R and one for the Hammer. They are not the cheapest stands in the world, but they work great.

"i use a 2x4 under the kick stand to check my oil"


I just straddle mine to check the oil normally, but with the this type of stand if you accidentally bump the bike it won't go over.

And oil changes are painless and without mess. As also mentioned they work great for hauling. I got my Condor before I even took delivery of my 1125R.

Pricey, but again, they're sturdy and they work. Of course there are other brands out there.

I bought the harbor freight stand to put in my new toy hauler to hold the 1125R. I just have to drop the fresh water tank to drill in the floor.
There are nine tie downs on the floor just not forward enough for the front wheel of the bike.
Just enough room for both 4 wheeler and 2 wheeler.
