I have the new Craftsman jack and the way to lift a 1800 Goldwing is one of the rubber padded lift rest on the jack has to be position to lift under the round pivot part of the center stand. So when I lift it only side of jack lifts center of engine and the other is lifting on pivot of centerstand. Hope this helps and make sure to use straps to secure it.

I have the harbor fright jack. It is real simalar to the craftsman.
Pump up the suspension all the way.
I push my jack in from the right side while the bike is on the side stand. Center one pad across the hinge points of the center stand. The other one will be on the oil pan. Take two pieces of one by four by 4inches long ( makes it allot more stable) and place them on either side of the rib in the oil pan and jack away. When you let it down be sure to put your kick stand back down first. You shouldn't have any trouble

Like some of the others here I used the Craftsman cicle jack with one "tongue" under the center stand hinge and the other one forward under the engine. I also used four straps, two on the front crash bars and two on the rear. The bike was in the air for two weeks like this while I removed the wheels for new rubber, changed brake pads, and other pm. To make it easier getting the jack under the Wing I rode the back wheel up onto a 2" high wooden ramp and put a piece of 2x4 under the side stand. That gave me enough clearance to slide the jack right under.
