I think I saw something about this in the forum a while ago, and wanted to share my results.
Getting the rear wheel off practically impossible unless you can lift the bike higher than the center stand allows. When I work with my buddies, we lift the bike together onto the center stand on scrap wood, but I can't do that on my own. So I rigged a ramp up onto a 2x12x8 that I had cut the last 2 feet off, and then resecured with hook-and-eyes (just to keep it from sliding away). After driving the bike up and setting the side stand down on an "outrigger," I made sure the bike was centered, then got it up on the center stand and unhooked that last 2-foot section. The rear wheel was now higher off the ground.
Getting the wheel off still required some finagling of the swing arm to get the wheel to pass the fender, but it worked. I'd recommend getting the bike higher still, but that's a project for the future. This works.
By the way, I pull the lower suspension bolt and drop the wheel below the muffler, instead of removing the right muffler to access the axle nut.
