If all you want to do is clean the wheels and tires, Harley makes a wheel roller for about $80.00 that would be great for that purpose. You can find it in the P&A CATALOGUE UNDER THE MAINTENANCE SECTION.

I have the same problem with my 05 Fatboy. You may have to invest in a ride on ramp, big bucks but I love it.

Run it up onto a couple chunks of 2 by 10..Give ya the height ya need to get the regular lift under. To keep it stable on the jiffy stand you may also want to put a chunk under it as well so not leaning over so much.

Yea, what Yota says. I drive my electraglide up on a 1" board that I have attached another 1" board to and roll the craftsman jack underneath.

getcha a 2x6 or a 2x8..whichever fits....bout four feet long....cut up a truck innertube or buy yer wife new livingroom carpet and snag some of the old....pad one edge of the
board so as to not scar yer frame....now...bolt a 1" pipe flange to one end of the board, and screw in about a four foot piece of steel pipe into it..this is yer lever..
bolt another flange on teh opposite side, hell use the same three or four bolts thru the board....now it gets cute..lay the board under the bike, make sure it won't pinch or break anything important, stand the bike up straight, lever the pipe down to lift the scooter...you might have to grab a buddy to help steady until you get it figured out, then screw
another legnth of pipe into the opposite flange to keep the board from falling over....you might put an eye bolt in each end of the jack for a tie down...but I never did..just be careful.

had one of these for the sporty until I robbed a pony express rider and bought a cheap chinese craftsman jack...

total cost...free...if you can scrounge worth a damn. ( You <are> a biker, right?)
