Sweet, I got a new third brakelight and want to drop it 2-4 to help me put the bike in by myself. I can do it most of the time, but its a strain.

You outta load your bike the redneck way. Back your truck into a ditch so that the tailgate is almost touching the ground lol. Works great with lawn tractors.

well with my bike being lowered, i cant load it up in the truck when on a flat surface. the headers on the bike stop it from going all the way on or off, as well as the lower fairing will scrape. so i have to find the closest curb and put the front tires on it. but i am glas i have a slanted driveway. i should just get a trailer.......

Funny you should say that. I did that when I was on leave down in Louisiana right before Hurricane Gustav hit. We was 60 miles outside of town and I finally found a ditch deep enough. Backed in and told the fiance to try to keep up.
