Green slime and the Nightster tire

Nevermind, mine's the Larin ATVJ-2 model, and found out it's been discontinued upon checking for updated prices/places to buy. Height to the platform is ~4 1/3". I simply just stand the bike straight up & slide the jack under it. Parent's bought it for me for gift.....seeing as I have two fourwheelers & the HD to work on.

Update....
Bought a Craftsman pro grade jack....low enough in theory to fit under my bike.
Got it out of the carton after 100 mile round trip and it has no oil in the jack.
Made a 20mile trip to buy oil.
Filled the jack...take it out to my bike and find out that it's way higher than advertised.
Load it back in the carton for another 100 mile trip to take the jack back for a refund.
Went by Harley to see how much they would charge for replacing my tube if I had the bike there, they say 132.00
So this morning I am pulling the valve stem putting in some slime and taking it for a couple mile ride....if it hold I am going to try and make it 24 miles to my nearest indy shop and have them put the tube in.
Damn this shouldn't be this hard. I am just fed up with it now and dont even want to look at it much less work on it.
One of my next mods is mag wheels over these spokes.

st got back, after stopping at the indy shop and feeling uneasy about them, i trekked on to Harley.
132.00 lighter in the wallet, at least i can ride my bike and the weather is a balmy 77 degrees
Loved it!!!
Picked up a turn signal relo kit while I was there as I am about to start the search for some bars, risers, and such

My problem was getting a jack to work.....seems there are two channels under the Nightster that look like they are designed for a specific jack to fit into the channels however I couldnt find one to work right, that and the jiffy stand hanging down just enough to throw it to the right side of the bike enough to make me uneasy about it being lifted up.
I grew frustrated enough to pay it...I will look for another solution at a later date.
