I have no problem accessing the true track with the mod?
Ace or just about every other hardware store sell metal spacers that you can fit in between the the lift pads.
Aluminum spacers

If you already have the lift adapters, you can separate 2 of the lower plastic pads from the rubber piece that fits to the frame and use those at the front to clear the clutch cable and to level out the bike better. Using the rubber portion does NOT make the bike unstable as they fit snug to the frame and sit flat on the lift pad.

I haven't touched it in several weeks. I know, shame on me. Having lost my workspace has put me back to working in my yard that is made out of sand.
I have several other issues to deal with like a leaking damper bolt on one of the forks. Not sure if it came loose. Just flat-out getting tired of messing with the front end.
The other thread showing a sport bike being lifted off the ground via a tree limb and ratchet strap has me thinking. lol "Ya'll come'ere and watch this....."

I have found that there is no place for a seperate jack to support the engine while lifted. I've been messing with my isolators / true track lately since having the front set-up replaced (if you remember my thread showing half of the front stabilizer link missing). Figured I would go ahead and replace the isolators too. The front was easy with the bike being support by a wheel chock and using a small floor jack to support the motor once the isolator was removed from both the frame and motor mount. I tried lifting the bike to gain some better access to the rear and the modded jack was just purely in the way of everything I needed access to.

I have a 98 superglide and I do use little piece of plywood that are squares to lift my bike up. Now I put them under the frame to clear the bolts drainplug and exhaust . It works good for me but watch as you lift it.
