You did not say which year model you have so since this might be helpful information I will cover both the old stand and the new version for the 09 bikes.
As we have only gotten about 150 of the new 09 stands out so far I can't give you first hand information on you being able to use your jack with this new model. We did get feedback from a customer either on this forum or the V-Twin who said all he had to do was add a small piece of plywood to one side of the frame to level everything out. I assume the rear arm of the jack was setting on the mounting bolt which would give about 3/8th inch gap under the other frame rail. He might have been able to just position the arms an inch forward and been good to go without the spacer. Dont know.
On the pre-09 model we have never had a customer who could not use his lift in conjunction with our center stand. Another point I would like to make: when a bike is first setting on a center stand you can usually slide the jack all the way under both frame rails. This is because not only is the bike level but setting taller than on a side stand or pulled back to a vertical position by hand. If you use a ˝ inch piece of plywood under my center stand then put the bike up it is even taller and the rear tire is off the ground for cleaning. You might find less need of the jack. Hope this information helps.
