Since I haven't picked up my Drifter yet I'm just guessing that the engine hangs down below the frame (it does on my 1500 Classic).  We are talking about a 1500?  This won't allow you to get a "good" balance on the bike when it's on an ATV jack.  I just made a frame assembly that hangs under the bike and allows the jack to have something "flat" to use for lifting.  Then I made a stand ("U" shaped 2x2x2 and 18" tall) and with the bike lowered down on the stand it's really stable. I also need to yank the tires off the Classic and have them changed but I've been procrastinating.............

Waiting for my ww Metzelers to arrive . Local bike shop said $ 50.00 to change both tires over and balance if I bring in the wheels. I bought a ATV style jack with two arms on it but can't position it for a good center balance. My old Yamaha had such high fenders and a center stand wheel removal was easy. The Drifter looks like a challenge. Should I only do one at a time, is there a good way to lift her up, fender removal the way to go...... ??
