The Garage Thing Someone Suggested, Which Helps With Moving Your Bike Around In The Garage?

Wheel dollies

 

Just roll it out backwards? That's what I do.

 

I can’t help with exacts bud, but I reckon if you Google motorcycle wheel dolly(s) you’ll probably get a wide selection.

I’m sure someone will be along with exact recommendations

This one only works if you've a centre stand.

Sealey ms063 motorcycle dolly?

Machine Mart used to sell these but not currently listed, and there used to be loads of different makes, probably all off the same production line in China. They work well but best to have a smooth floor as the wheels are quite small and can be a struggle to get the loaded stand moving if the surface is not smooth.

 

Anyone tried these on flagstones? I could really do with one but those little wheels look like they need a nice smooth surface.

 

If you have got the cash then this one

I had one when I lived overseas, a few years ago but a third of the current lowest UK price I could find on line, and was great with an original style Monster. The garage had a tamped concrete floor so was a bit hard to get the thing moving, but was OK once on the go.

One benefit was it was pretty easy to move the bike out of the way, up against a wall or into a corner, so well out of the way during winter, etc.

Other people I knew there had garages with power floated floors which are much smoother, and the dolly’s were brilliant on that surface. I thought about getting bigger wheels (not quite monster truck size!) but never got round to it before moving on.

Based on that experience, don’t think they would work too well on a flagstone floor, as the gaps between stones would be the problem, and at UK pricing, possibly a bit pricey to see if bigger wheels work.

Edit - Re the post below from GarySN, the Sealey MS063 stand is side stand only, whereas the Easy Turn is centre stand only.

 

I use an EasyTurn, which works great with my KTM 1290 Super Adventure. Had the smaller model previously for a Honda Crosstourer, which weighs in at 270kg. There are two sizes available. You just need one whose diameter will accommodate your centre stand.

 

I have the Constands one on my 1299. Used it for 4 years now. Ive used it on flag stones and all manner of crap surfaces, worked fine, never really caused me any issue. Would easily buy one again.
Note: The way Motea send it to you its basicaly a rear paddock stand, you remove the wheels and attach the trolley wheels. The instructions were so sh*te that I thought they sent me a paddock stand and threw in the wheels by accident. Customer service had no idea how to guide me. I figured it out in the end but I was swearing for hours. Flip side is, if you ever dont need the trolley wheels, you remove them and re attach the other wheels, and you have a normal fixed rear paddock stand. 2 in 1.

Thanks Borgo Panigale.

I mentioned Machinemart due to their frequent (pre pandemic) VAT free events. That said not sure if or when there will be another....

Cheapest Sealey MS063 I found was £120.82 delivered at Workshopping.co.uk.

Some available used on eBay I think, but all look like buyer collect as they are quite bulky, even disassembled. Also quite heavy, so not the easiest thing to shove through the window slot at the local post office....
