Park'n Move
I had a similar model but it was too light weight for the 1200 GSA. Yup, center stand can be a challenge loaded or not but I move that big bike around the garage with ease even if it is packed for a trip. The brakes on the wheel locks suck, so the brake pad idea is a good one. But in the winter when you want move the bike out of the way or drag it out from some work or charge the battery (I don't leave the bike on a tender, just me). For a real working lift (not for moving the bike but just to lift it for working on) I got the Kendon Stand-up lift that I really like, it stores in the corner when you don't need it but is small for getting into the bike, but again holds the GSA to make oil changes and service a lot easier than laying on the ground or bending over. Note: neither of these things are cheap, but have worked well for me.
