The front kneeling position looks pretty smart for a 86-93 first gen. However, on a 83-85, the bags slip off. However, you still need more room to keep from having to remove the rear fender to roll the tire out. What was discussed several years ago on the "other" site, was to put about 3" of wood on the ground where the center stand will land. Then with a little help on the right side, it's not too hard to get the bike on the center stand. This gives enough room to roll the tire right out. I pull the right muffler, but that's fast, only loosen the clamp bolt and remove the bolt it hangs from.

 

Now this may also work with an 86 on, but I've never tried it.

Thanks!

Frank have you tried this with the 3" blocks and do you have a lightbar installed?
