What do you guys use to prop up the rear to remove the wheel?
I tried to do a search but didn't come up with anything.

I have a sportbike rear stand but it doesn't look like it'll work.

As you can tell this is my first cruiser.

Any info is appreciated.

You can lay a big bloc next to the bike & lean the bike over hard to the left & kick the block under the swing arm, stand the bike up & the tire is off the ground. Either stuff another block under the left side or tie the bike so it stays up on the block.

A come along in a tree works. or a rafter in the garage.

Or, there is a Lift made from 2X6's , pics online

Floorjack under the bracket under the bike

Lumberjack holding it up while you do the work?

Yup, what I built.  'Cept I used 2 2x6 screwed/glued together.  Screwed a 2x4 to the top and added an eye bolt to each end for tie-downs from the bike.  Stapled some carpet on one side of the 2x4 so it's smooooth lifting.   It works great!  

I think I'll do the same thing except use 2 2x8 for my next one.  Then I will be able to lift the whole bike using both.  

I use the poor man's bike lift:  http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1167152229

Paladin, that looks a lot like my floorjack( orange_. Mine didnt have a cotter pin holding the pedestal into the jack. You might want to look at that.

Thanks for the pics guys. I'll be doing some winter work. Pallidin's & Justin's  lifts will work great.
Have the floor jack, tie downs & spare wood to do it. The pics are worth a 1,000,000 words.!!!!
