Having a center stand is also a great tool for doing things like this. I installed the Wheeldock EZ Up Centerstand and it works very well and was a really easy install. Kind of expensive but for the amount that I use it I feel like it was a good purchase. I hardly ever use the jiffy stand anymore.

only if it is overfull to start with

 

Installed the Porthole derby cover. Looks really cool. [8D]

Bought an 06 gasket. Marked the inner boundry with a compass and cut it with a 1/2" chisel. The gasket is made out of a piece of sheet metal. Shears did a lousy job. What do you think.

Thanks for the tips. The 2x4 worked like a charm and did not spill one drop of oil.

Do you see the primary oil splashing around in there when the bike is on? Also, did you need the gasket? I thought that the orange "o" ring would be enough? Granted, I don't have a '07, just curious.

Looks awsome, BTW.

 

When I turn on the bike, a film of primary oil splashes down on the cover. Like watching a washing machine. As soon as you turn it off, you can see the clutch assembly.

I had to modify the O ring gasket. Can't use the 07, so I bought an 06, used a compass to mark where to cut the gasket, and used a 1/2" chisel to cut through the gasket. Shears was making a mess and lots of shavings.

Posted some pics previously, here some more of the 06 gasket. I test rode the bike today and no leaks.

 

No leaks are a good thing.

 

Thats pretty neat, I've got the VPC pressure plate and It would look mean though the window if it would clear.

 

I have one of those covers. It does "clear" when the bike is standing straight up.

 

LOL what I should have said was if the VPC wouldn't hit the cover when it spun the weights out at higher RPMS
