Jack Adapters
For those of you who have tried to lift your Nomad with a standard MC floor jack like the Craftsman jack, you know that it is impossible without some blocking to keep the bike steady. The reason is that the engine case extends below the frame and teaters on the jack arms.
I have an adapter that fixes that problem. They are very sturdy square tubing and pin to the Nomad frame tabs. When the bike is up on one of these it is very stable on the jack. I still recommend that you strap the bike to the jack as generally recommended anyway. The adapters are powdercoated and profesionally welded. If you would like one just send me a PM and I will send ordering info. They are now $85 each including shipping. Thanks, Idaho

That's a good question RJ, I don't know. Let me see what I can find out.

Mine is a 1500 and it works great. I know Beezer has a 1600 and has used it as well, so I assume it will work on either.

$85 may sound like a lot of money to some folks, but anybody who drops their bike off the jack will wish like hell they'd spent the money once they get the repair bill. Nomads can be very expensive to drop.

I paid LESS for the jack then I did for the adaptor and had no problem with buying it. Jacks can be bought about anywhere, but Idaho took on the task of producing an adaptor that works specific for our bike for the benefit of anyone interested in a secure lift. Don't like the price, you can use wood blocks. I love the secure feeling when I jack mine up with the adaptor.

Idaho, are these adapters jack specific? You know, do they work with the craftsman only or do you make them to fit other jacks.
