Not sure what Jack to order, just curious what everyone else is using to get these behemoths off the ground? I'm experiencing a not so nice wobble when I let go of the bars at 35mph to 60 mph on decel so I want to check the steering head for play if got a 38mm service wrench and 38mm deep socket I'm assuming those should work fine, but I'm concerned with lifting it off the ground ... Not so much worried about it falling over as I am with possibly putting too much pressure on the bottom of the engine and any pan or sealing gaskets. not sure if that's a valid concern or not but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

First of all mine has done that since it had 6000 miles on it.
Now if you try that at 55 miles per hour it may turn into a tank slapper . If it is under power it doesn't do that. Different tires will act a little different. When I am coasting I always make sure I have at least one hand on the bars.
