Seems like you could put a cable or tie down up to a ceiling joist or  rafter and pull It down and hook the bike where it might tip a bit but not fall.

Thanks Prokop, probably set me back close to a grand when all is said and done.  Could have been worse>>Larry

 Maybe something  like a bicycle rack only bigger?

Finally got the tank back for the Suzuki that was shown in the first post.  Set me back 250,  add right switch and lever and it'll wind up costing me 350 to fix the wind damage..  Guess, it could have been worse-like all the plastic could have broken.  Hopefully it will be done(that is if it starts again) by this weekend.  It will be kept in the shop until picked up

Back together and finished, started up every time. It would decide not to start on a whim before.  I think the new r/h switch I installed to replace the broken from fall one was the  starting culprit.   Now just have to get it back to the owner before another catastrophe sets in.  Cost 350 and a couple days work.

 I was towing my first K0 behind a wheel lift truck all went well until we went up the driveway and the left strap broke, I threw my leg under the wrinkle tank and saved it. I was healed in a day or 2.
