Jacking the classic rocket 3 and changing the rear tire.

Yes, you can jack this thing without a bike lift. You need two jacks and two small stands. One jack on each side. (See pic for lift points) Raise each slowly keep her mostly level until you can get the small stands under the swing arm. Pull the axel and disassemble the rear signal/plate bracket (4 8mm nuts and a little auger gets it right out). Once the tires free slide it back, one jack a 4x4 in front of tire should reach the swing arm. Lift, should easily get clearance to pull tire. I added bigger stands under the front highway pegs for extra stability but probably didn’t need it. No need to pull the exhaust on the left side if you have read that, don’t do it. I have an 08 classic, if your wondering.
