Dave, I'm trying to visualize, but I think the center stand cants forward when down, which gets in your way, right? I think in this case, it might be easier to just use the side stand to change the oil.

FWIW, when I did my oil change, my 12 quart oil catch pan will fit under the bike and it makes dropped bolts and oil draining a pretty clean operation.

Spud - thanks for the great write-up. I have to admit that I used a stiff, thin wire to fish out the filter. Only after did I learn the magnetic drain plug trick. D'oh! Next time...
