Have similar on the SV and the GS ans don't struggle.... Alas Scotty If youm have a top mounted brake caliper or a fender, you need the longer paddock stand to get the wheel in.

The tecnique I always use is to sit on the floor with the wheel on your legs, get the spindle in one end, lift the wheel with your legs with the spacers in roughly the correct place, get the spindle in through one spacer, alight the wheel, get it through the wheel, through the spacer and through the swing arm.
