I know it is a bit premature but I'm starting to put everything together for the winter and storing the bike so I have it all ready in advance. The only step I am stuck on is to raise the rear wheel to avoid flat spots.
My 1995 Shadow VT1100C does not have a center stand and obviously no possibility for spools. As I google it I also know jacking it up in general is not easy due to the oil pan and various other stuff in the way.
I see Harbor Freight has an adjustable back wheel stand but I have no idea where that would lift up on my bike.
Do those in colder climates raise the back wheel or is a plush carpet and moving the bike every couple of weeks more than sufficient? I have an attached garage with the bike near the inside wall although it still gets pretty cold.
