Thinking about picking one up to make cleaning the wheels/tires a bit easier. Just wondering if it's designed for much lighter bikes as opposed to bigger HDs.

I raise my bike on a jack for cleaning, makes cleaning the wheels easy and getting underside as well.

Did you read the reviews? One said it worked well on the front wheel but was very hard to turn on the rear wheel of his 850 lb. HD bagger. Might be better on your bike with its lighter rear end though. I still like the jack idea better.

I have often thought of getting them myself, bit I have never heard a good thing about them from the people who have gotten them. I have a center stand on my bike. That works well for me.

If you don't already have one - pick yourself up one of those red Craftmans jacks and use it for more than just cleaning your wheels....
