Just a bit of putting together, and it works like a charm. I use it for a recently obtained KLR 650... which is a bigger bike, if not the biggest by far. Mona Lisa, my bike, enjoys her pedestal. And my bike enjoy the ease of attention as needed. Plus, I can put her out of the way, so can now park in the garage too. All very very good. I did look at other options. But for price, or complexity, or... other things... I just couldn't do it. And, glad I went this way. Didn't need the otehr systems. Sometimes a guy gets lucky.
