Thought I would share my latest project that is in the final stages of completion. The only thing left is to finish assembling the drafting table, install the TV, and kick back and enjoy, Please take notice that the floor is carpeted which I would never have done with any bikes other than the Valkyrie and Goldwing, even being 16, and 30 years old respectively they have never leaked a single drop of oil or anything else.
Is this unusual for these bikes or did I just get lucky?

Nice.   Also I see I'm not the only one that uses a piece of 2x under the stand.

Might want to make a trip to the Dollar Stoe and pic up two large cookie sheets.  Now that you have addressed this issue, it won't be long before it burps or something.

I've never had to worry about leaks but, tire tracks would be a concern of mine.   I'd hate to have to wipe my feet and clean the tires before entering.    That is, if that was my man cave.    It's not so, more power to ya.

 I think I see a lot of potential for leaks when I look at all the stuff on the shelf.
