Default best way to take off wheels?

well .. unfortunatly, i dont have a front or rear stand, or a motorcycle jack .. are there any ghetto ways to get enough clearance to get the front and rear wheels off? I tried a million things, and nothing worked.

Harbor Frieght has a motorcycle/atv jack on sale for $50 ... so i might try that, and then probly take it back even if it works to find a good deal on stands.

but ya, any ideas?

ghetto way = two honda jacks. one under each fork leg in the front. when done with front move to the rear, one jack uner each side of the swingarm.
be careful working on the bike as it will be very unstable.

I don't know if the quality is better than the other brands out there, but the price is great. My set of Handy Stands have held up for over a year's worth of toil and torture.
