I have a lift. It makes things much easier. Not just for cleaning, but other repairs and inspections as well. Can't see myself without one. I also have to drive up on a 2x4. While up on the 2x4 I can still use the kick stand so no biggie at all.

What exactly are Mr Clean erasers and where do you get them? Thanks.

I love my lift. Even if all I use it for is washing the bike - it's well worth the bucks. Got mine at Sears on sale.

Link to buy them online...

Clicky

They are a weird spongelike thing. It kind of falls apart as you use it (more like dissolves) so you seem to always have a clean spot. Its not very abrasive, but works great.

On the lift question... anyone know of one that has a leveling function? My garage is too small to use one, and my driveway is sloped.

I can't picture the bike on the lift or what you guys are talking about with the 2x4s
This is my first cruiser of any kind and I've always had a center stand.
Some are saying "lift" and some are saying "jack"
I have a small jack on wheels that I use to jack my truck up...bought it from advanced auto but maybe I'll go down and have my neighbor give me a demo and I might find that what I have will work
