    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.

        Not sure if your motor is similiar to mine but watch the stator wire. It was really easy for me to rip the gasket on mine. Nothing more money and time didn't fix.

          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.

            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
