I need to repaint my wheels and wanted to know other than front and rear stands, if there was a way to take the wheels off the bike. Thanks

As was mentioned, a 2x4 and a jack can work. Best to place the weight on the frame and not the oilpan, though.
Oh yeah, and make sure you don't hit your oil cooler lines with the jack. Can loosen the banjo bolts or crack the hard line and spray oil all over the pavement in traffic. Not that I know this from personal experience or anything. Man that's a hardy lil' engine...

BTW, I think they may have been correct. It does appear that BLACK is indeed the FASTEST color. R.O.R...R.I.P.M

I learned my lesson almost the hard way. I changed my fork oil, bike on center stand. When I pushed down on the forks to make sure all of the oil was out I almost lost the bike. Not realizing it, all of the weight went forward and down. Bike rolled off the stand but I was there to catch it in time. I almost dropped my jewels but I saved the bike.

With a centerstand rear goes up in the air, the the rear wheel comes off. Then I pick the front up and set each fork leg on a fully extended jack stand. That got me through about 5 tie changes. Then I got the Buell and had to get stands. Pitbull swingarm stand in the rear newfront stand up front, and I really can't imagine going back.
