Makes the most sense to me so that is what I do with both bikes. Also, for the newbies, the bike must be upright not on the side stand. My solution is to sit on the bike holding it upright and use a mirror on a stick type tool. Easily available at all auto parts stores and a cheap tool to add the the tool box.
