Who has jacked up their 1800 Valkyrie? Issues? Adapters? Easy? Pictures?
Discussion?

I haven't tried yet. I hardly jack up my 1500 Valkyrie at all, just an inch or
so. Seems like if you jack up the 1800 Valkyrie a foot or so, you could
just slip the wheel out on the left side without taking a bunch of other
stuff apart first... I read some instructions, in the manual I guess, about
taking the fender off and the rear subframe section off. I had to remove
the rear fender to put on my saddlebags, it is not hard at all, but now that
I have the saddlebags on there, I sure would like to be able to just
slip the wheel out on the left... it is all speculation to me at this point, never
worked on a Goldwing before...

You could try to lay it down on the right side, loosen the nuts up first.

I saw the "throw your goldwing in a ditch" youtube video...

Without a center stand it might b harder to do

just lay it on its side to remove rear wheel . .sometimes i have a 2x4 to wedge under the left  rear crash bar to make it tilt over more ..  as said loosing the  lug nuts first then lay it over .. looks crazy but i have done it a few times .... as to jack it up i just put jack under bike balance it out jack it right up ..  i also woundnt ride it without a belly pan .. to much stuff hanging down there to get hit.. jack fits on it also ..
