Find someone that has digital race car scales.

Join an EAA chapter that has a set of scales.
I also used the bathroom scales method, but used a system once sold by ACS. They are called Ruggles Scales. ACS no longer lists them, but they are available elsewhere.
They consist of three scales and two multipliers as John suggests, but they are made of welded steel with the fulcrum points accurately located. The wheel pad pivots so the wheel location is always accurately positioned relative to the fulcrum. They are able to use a 2 multiplier as well as a 3 if needed. My old ACS catalog shows them listing at $275 for tailwheel and $310 for nosewheel. The website selling them now wants a phone call for pricing.
