I ride a 1000 lb Harley touring bike. I have a short, sloped driveway. When I park my bike, I turn it around in the garage so I can just pull out forward. I don't like to back it down because there is a point where I can't touch my feet down due to the angle.

Here is the info on the one I have.
OTC 1545 It's a little expensive but it does have longer lifting pads that work much better for the Voyager frame.

A stock 2011 Harley Davidson Ultra Limited might weigh 901 pounds. I'll bet mine's closer to 1000. I've never weighed it, though.

Sloped driveway 45' long and has walls. Be careful backing up. The bike is longer than you think

Measured my bike and my friends Vaquero....my bike is almost 10' long, the Vaquero being slightly longer....from the tip of front fender to the very end of rear fender. I've scratched, dented, and dinged my pipes just by backing into high curbs, walls. Backup camera helps avoid this.... My front and rear system is also hooked into a DVR should anyone run over my ass.... Safety first guys....

It's a great lift and is low enough to slide under the bike when it is on the kickstand. When you lower the bike it comes down slow and smooth even if you push the pedal all the way down.

Do you need to set something like a 2x6 underneath the kickstand to bring the bike somewhat upright before raising and lowering it?

Nothing at all. My bike is stock as far as the kickstand and shocks and it will clear as long as the front wheel is full left and not full right.

What JD said. As long as the tab on your Idaho adapter is up against it (the frame), all you gotta do is grab your handlebar, hold it firmly, jack it with your foot, bike will raise and settle on jack.
If your floor is smooth, you can turn your bike around like that. Just Be Careful....I don't suggest twirling the bike around on the jack unless you have some straps on it for safety....
