    stuck with a single car garage with fairly limited access and need to be able to co-exist with a car - there's room for both if I position the bike 'just so' but it's a pain in the @ss to get it turned in and lined up across the back wall.

    any suggestions / recommendations for something I can easily use to ride in forward and then shift it? happy if it's just something that lets me park nose in the corner and then drag the back wheel around, or a full roll-on/roll-off type trolley (which would also mean I could turn it round so I don't have to roll back out the garage onto the street)

    Love the idea of the Dynomoto thing with it's 360 rolling wheels, but that won't work with the standard exhaust, and a few I've look at on ebay either aren't rated for the weight of the FXBB (what do FatBoy riders do!) or are really clunky in operation.

    thanks! dropped them a line ... though probably can't get over to pick up until after lockdown (they're outside my 5km!)

    You ask for suggestions to your dilemma?
    I suggest:
    1) Move car out of garage.
    2) Move bike into garage.

    Ha ha! It's an option, but then I'd also be sleeping in the garage!

    Longer story, used to park the car on the street but there has been a bunch of cars getting stolen/damaged and the wife's car got dinged the other day so want to hide them both away from unwanted attention.

    Shane Buckley is the owner ,  he might sort out getting one to you.  This one is top of range. They also do a steel one  thats cheaper. I have had mine about 8 years. Still works great.

    Bit Late, Steamers Trolly a beauty!!
    just thought I would say, I've used a number of way's to move Harleys into tight spots, one was was a small trolly jack, with the bike on the Harley side stand ( the stock one that locks when weight of bike on it ) you place trolly jack on opposite side to the side stand & pu jack under frame as close to rear wheel as possible & not using swingarm , jack bike till rear wheel just clear of ground ( need's to be flat surface ) pull rear of bike toward you, while other end sill supported by side stand.
