Default Vulcan 800 Classic feature

I have a Kawasaki VN800 Classic as a spare bike and recently replaced the rear wheel assembly and chain. When I was doing the maintenance I noticed a nice little feature on the bike that should be on all bikes that don't have a center stand. On the swing arm there are 2 round slots at the rear that can be used for a read wheel stand. It makes rear wheel cleaning a breeze. Just pop it up on the stand and spin the wheel.
