I do trust you That's good news. I thought for sure between the stator cover and the right hand cover I'd have a problem. Looks like I'm good to go, taking them off and alternating how the bike sits. Thanks all.

On an 850, you only lose a little bit of oil when removing the stator cover on the centerstand, and I don't see why it would be any different for the other models. Put a big drain pan underneath to catch the few spoonfuls that come out and some foil over the frame tube if you're picky.
Make sure you have a new stator cover gasket handy. You WILL tear the old one.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.

Thanks for the tip on the gasket guys. I don't have any spares. I'll have to order. I'll wait to polish this cover until I have the gasket. Cheers
