I would like to know how can I find the middle point for the 2014 Street Glide?
This is where the weigth is balanced equally between front and rear of the bike.
I need to identify this position so I can put the bike in perfect horizontal position for the winter storage. I have put it up but it's slightly unbalanced and teh rear is closer to the ground than the front.
Is there a visual mark, or some other element on the frame, or below the engine block to identify this position?
Sounds like you are close - slide the jack back an inch or two and see how that works.
I can only imagine you are trying to even the loads on your jack?

Thank you. Yes I'm trying to even the loads. Thought there will be a direct way of doing it since lowering the jack triggers always the risk of a falling bike.

I never really understood the idea of storing the bike on a jack. So many things that can go wrong. Lots of horror stories on here about jacks failing, and bikes falling by being bumped........especially if you have kids.
I just park mine on a truck mat. Plug in the battery tender. Complain about the snow, and wait for Spring.
And....... isn't it a little late to be just now storing the bike for winter? Or did you just get it?
Yeah I pull it in Garage,hook up tender and walk away!! Everytime I go out to garage I walk over,and start it up! While its running I stand there thinking about all the beautiful women I rode last summer,and all the beautiful women ima ride this up coming season! Hurry up Summer time,,
