Chain cleaning on an America

Has anyone found a rear tire lift for chain cleaning besides a motorcycle jack that works on a America? Cleaning the rear wheel and chain is a pain when you have to roll the bike to get to all sections.

I found what I need.

Since I do not have a center stand and did not want a lift I found a device that allows the wheels to turn for cleaning.

chain lube try silicon

Easy to keep clean. No need to use oil on the xring chains. You won't get anything beyond the rubber seals anyway. Just use a good quality sprayon silicon and wipe clean with a soft cloth before appling any new spray. Stays neat and clean and does all the lube necessary on the rollers and sprockets.
