What did you do with your Kawasaki motorcycle today?

[rjs987]

After installing the bolt-on hitch adapter I made to convert the hitch from the Uni-Go receiver (that I made last year) to a standard ball coupler design I noted that the paddock stand has a cross bar that doesn't fit around the extended adapter. I still needed/wanted to use the paddock stands so figured out that if I rolled the rear wheel onto a couple of 2x boards stacked that I could still fit the cross bar of the stand under the adapter. I've done that twice now with no issues. I put the bike on the rear stand Wednesday to clean/lube the chain. There is plenty of space under the wheel when on the stand to pull the boards out for any maintenance needed. I will likely need to remove the hitch altogether to replace the tire though but that doesn't happen often enough to be a bother. The hitch is easy to remove.
