I have not been able to find a Uly center stand. Is there such a thing? If not, what do you guys use to raise the rear of the the Uly - if needed - when out on tour? Is there a small, compact scissor jack or something?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Muffler is a jack point, so anything you can wedge under there while the bike is supported to be upright, will work. At home I use PitBull stands, but they're tough to cart around "on tour" : ) A small flatjack would work...or a big rock.

If you have saddlebags, many folks do roadside belt replacements or rear tire work by just laying the bike over on the left saddlebag. If you do it gently, the bag, the frame puck, and the handguard are just about the only things that touch.

Is it bad for all the oil to pool to one side?
