Thanks for the help, Engine slider.

I bought it and had a hard time installing it, I took delivery of a used Motorcycle and did a lot of research and decided to install it just in case my car is pretty heavy and I have to reupholster the Seat when I take delivery. I'll let you know when the Seat is finished. I'm only temporarily wearing Seat from another Motorcycle, so I'll contact you when Seat is finished. The shop told me that they were going to install the Slider at the same time as I received the Seat, but they didn't reply when I contacted them. Because I could not wait too much, I decided to install it by myself, but the first time I realized that I needed to Jack-up the engine and the body separately, and I had to redo it, and I could not remove and install it only with Center Stand, the second time I bought a new Jack, and with CenterJack The second time, I bought a new Jack and used the CenterJack to raise the motorcycle, lift up the center of the engine, remove the engine bolt to install the slider, and then remove and install the engine bolt when the weight of the engine was just right on the bolt while raising and lowering the vehicle one side at a time. The engine mounting bolt is a place where a lot of torque is applied, so it was difficult to adjust the force so as not to lick it. I realized that I need a lot of space and tools for maintenance.

One day the temperature suddenly dropped and I turned on the engine of my motorcycle and let it warm up in a shorter time than usual. I was going to turn to the Right, so the weight of the motorcycle fell to the Right Side at once, as expected, because it was morning time, I stopped the car of Both Sides, I was embarrassed and shocked, and I was in a hurry to wake up the motorcycle at once. I woke up the motorcycle with my energy, but since it fell to the Right Side, I should have put up the LeftSTAND to prevent it from falling again, but since it was causing traffic jams, I woke up the motorcycle with my energy and forcibly stepped over it from the Left, which I was not used to, to prevent it from falling to the Left, and restarted it. I turned the Cell to start the engine, but the engine wouldn't start. I was able to straddle the motorcycle, but my legs were shaking, my head was sweating, the car behind me was getting closer, it was a traffic jam, and I had just knocked the motorcycle down. I had just knocked over the motorcycle, and somehow I managed to flap my legs and push the motorcycle to the SIDE.
As I was on the SIDE of the road, the traffic jam was gone, I managed to calm down my panic of shaky legs by myself on the SIDE of the road, I called to change my schedule for the day, I took a breath and turned the Cell to start the Engine, but the Cell didn't work next time. The front brake lever on the right side is broken, and there is a little scratch near the band of exhaust system. The engine slider had a few scratches. The engine slider had a few scratches, but the suspension and engine were fine.
It was a good thing that I had an engine slider installed, it was only a little scratch. There are many kinds of sliders, but I realized that sliders and engine guards are absolutely necessary for motorcycles that cannot support the weight. Slider was a big help this time. View detail
