I don't think a wedge under the rear wheel would make mine easier. Backing it out of the garage onto a sloped driveway does though. Maybe I should put the wedge down and drive the front wheel up on it. Then lift the bike off the side stand and onto the center stand.
I do have a 2'x4' sheet of 1/8 inch hardboard under my CB1100 EX. I used it to keep the garage floor clean when oiling the chain on my CB500XA. The hardboard does not move when I put the EX on the center stand.
Learned a trick from Lemmy of Revzilla watching his chain oiling video. I used to put a piece of cardboard behind the chain to catch any misplaced oil when spraying my CB500XA chain. But using his technique of holding the spray can tube against the rear sprocket directs the oil right down onto the chain rollers. Any excess that drops off the chain, can be wiped off the hardboard with a couple of shop towels.
