Don't forget the jack adapter... Check with Bud Smally, aka Idaho(high Plains drifter). You'll need it.

It isn't exactly true you must have the adpater, but it sure is noce to have.

With the lift you can make a 3 point contact which is fairly stable till you get to rockin things around. You pick up the rear on the two frame tabs sticking down and the engine lug as the forward point.

There is less baloney with the adapter however, and the stability is out standing.

You still need a ratchet tie down or two, and you need to make a plank up in 3 pieces, to get some height, removing the center piece plank to roll the lift under the bike with the adapter mounted. You also need a block for the side stand.

When you get the adapter, you will need under size pins to hold it to the bike and might want soft felt pads for the front end of the adapter too. Furniture coasters from Lowes or Home Depot.

My frame adapter is blue, and what ever you do don't paint it black! Thar's be a few tails around of forgetting to remove the adapter after a maintiance.. Not a good thing to do.

Recently I used the lift and the adapter and created some How To pics. At the end notice the 2 planks left have been turned 90 degrees, for getting down off of them.

Yeah ya gotta check shipping hard as of late... Shipping is a make it, or break it deal sometimes. My new fender was. I found a good deal on a fender but the 120 bucks to ship it broke the deal, and I found another not as good deal, but the diff in shipping made it 2nd best, with shipping at 20 bucks.

I have this jack....
In that it is a good price and it seems to be made half way decent be aware that once you get your bike up in the air be EXTREMELY careful when lowering it.....
Maybe mine is screwy but there is NO.. I repeat...NO slow lowering on this baby.
When you press the pedal it literally jumps down and will scare the sh*t out of you.
There is a sweet spot but you only have about 1/8 of an inch to find it....otherwise she drops like a rock.
Now then maybe there is a way to adjust this but I can not find it.
Just my 2 cents

I find 2 ways to lower... One mash the pedal and let it go, with a helper, and 2 just heel the floor and toe the pedal and let it judder down...
