I jack it up with 3 points of contact. It's steady.

 

i modded the lifters to more wide... fits perfect under my 07 even thoug i got a low profile rear tyre...

 

HF's aluminum jack has these add supports. Maybe something like these but with the one side shortened?

 

Yes longhairs mod works but I won't be able
To use my stand, that's why I can't use my J&S
And got the craftsman. The J&S or the nodded craftsman
Are the same width of my stand.

 

As you can see some pivot and adjustment action

 

No mean to hijack, but doesn't the Craftsman have adapters for the Dyna sold separately?

 

yep I`ve heard of them, also heard of them coming apart, I just like to make stuff.

 

you know I was kinda thinking that myself but I haven't seen them, I just like to make stuff sometimes

 

HD makes simple (though crappy quality and over-priced) adapters for dynas for just this purpose. I bought some on eBay for a few bucks, so I'm not dissatisfied with them. Even then, their design is kind of annoying and makes things tricky to line up (pumping the jack then needing to stick my head under the still-possibly unstable bike to check everything's lined up is not the best/safest engineering solution I've ever seen).

Once in place and hoisted, it is stable.

Probably easy enough to copy/improve upon. The orange part is rubbery plastic, and clips to the frame. The dark bits are hard plastic (ABS possibly), glued to the orange bits.

If I didn't need my lift for my other bikes too I'd probably modify the stand itself by screwing 2x4s (or similar) to it.

EDIT: Oops, just saw Kevinb62's post the the HD part on the previous page. Anyway, will leave this post here as it's got pics and another 'user review'...

This alu jack is not recommended.. its very unstable with a heavy bike on it..
