leaking air in the spokes on my 2012 softail I do not have a motorcycle stand and I need to take this thing off is there another way to do that or do I need to buy one eventually but monies a little tight right now[/I]

 

2x6's work well...

 

Getting the wheel off the ground should be the easy part of the job.

This may sound trollish but if you can't figure out how to get the front wheel off the ground perhaps you need to let someone else do the job.

Also, your issue isn't "leaking air in the spokes", your issue is you have a leak in the tube.

Really????
(1) The OP hasn't said whether the leak is in the front or rear wheel.

(2) The OP hasn't specified whether this is a tube or "tubeless" spoked wheel.

 

This low cost solution will help you out.

I suppose you're right about the tubeless; I did make an assumption.

As for getting the wheel off the ground; I stand by my assessment.
If the OP can't figure out a way to raise the wheel they probably should take the bike to a mechanic.
