Should fix under your bike. I had to remove the wheels (from the jack) so I could lift my Deluxe.
I assume you mean the red jack for around $70.

I just picked up the yellow aluminum one yesterday and it works great on my Springer. (I think it is a lower profile than the red one). Works awesome.

I bought the red one yesterday and had to roll the front tire up onto a 2x4 to get it under. Took all of about 15 seconds to get the wood and roll it up. Works good for me.

Sure can... When you put the jack under the right side, you have to pull the bike towards you a little so the jack fits under the frame on the far side. (I'm not lowered) The jack lines up with the two crossmembers just ahead of the shocks. For the money, you can't beat it. What I like best is it can be lowered back down slowly.

This is how I use mine as well. My bike is stock height, it may be more difficult if the bike is lowered, but nothing a 2X4 won't fix. Great lift for the money.
