They make long torque wrenches. They're not cheap, but, they do the job.

Actually torque sticks are suppose to be more accurate (repeatability) than torque wrenches from what i've heard. Alot ppl dont use torque wrenches correctly.

Your lucky to get your wheels torqued w/o stripping the nutz off at most places of bussiness let alone the HD industry cant exactly use a torq wrench on them eather. So if u can afford them i'd def say use them. I inherited a set from the local ford dealer tho the limits are so varying for a given size might have 3 different torque levels for a given size.
