Looked at a Wheel Jockey for my road king to roll the wheel to clean but the weight limit is 650lbs. Did not think it would work easy. Any suggestion on something better. Thks

 

Build (or buy) yourself a lift like one of these (I don't particularly care for the details on this, but it shows the concept) .

Those roller things don't work well, even for a small bike.

I have no idea about the quality, and have no affiliation with these products or sellers, but here are a couple options from E-bay.

Just get a motorcycle lift. Raise the whole bike just off the ground, clean tires, rims, do your maintenance, etc.

 

sears all aluminum motorcycle jack & the reason I like this one its light & lower than other motorcycle jacks also pick up a shop seat creeper that goes up & down raise the bike up sit on your on you creeper stool & there you go I also use wesley's bleach for white walls and use a green scrouring pad I sometimes use cleanser just because. have fun oh yea had 2003 R/K now a 2008 ultra classic both bought brand new regards JOHN

 

JS Jacks. It's $300 bucks, but you can not only clean your white walls but also change you oil, do other maintenance and give your bike a killer detail job.

 

Next tire change get rid of the WW's. IMO they look cool on 1940 cars but not on bikes. Again, JMO.

 

IMO white walls look good on road kings the bike was degsigned to look like the old FLH back in the day old school. and remember just like a--holes everybody one JOHN

 

I was thinking of one of these as well for the times I don't have my lift handy. I would think that since a fraction of a bike's weight would be loaded on the rear wheel (the front wheel would be loaded with a large portion of the total weight) the Wheel Jockey would be fine. I never gave this any thought 'til I saw your post. I would think they refer to the total load on the WJ as not to exceed 650.
Anyone with any experience?


Edit....just went to their website. Yup, 650 is the bike weight limit, so no go. It does say they are in the process of producing one for heavyweight cruisers.
