This may not be the "scoop of the century" and some of you may actually have one or something better, but I hd to tell the forum all about my new Jack Stand.

This thing cost $74 bucks on ebay, is sturdy as all get out, and is small enough to allow use in sheds, basments, and cramped garages.

Roll it under your bike, have someone make sure the bike doesn't tip as you jack it up, and voila - your bike can be moved around with the touch of a finger and turn 360 on an axis.

I have put on a few new mods since getting this thing, and it is amazing how much easier working on a bike that is secure and level is.

Here arespecs:

Looks great. What brand is it? I 'googled' and found several brands look somewhat the same. In some earlier threads on jacks , there was much discussion of needing lifting blocks to get aroud some of the lower frame when lifting. This was particularly true of the sears jacks. How about this jack--any problems needing some blocking material??

 

Nothing needed. All I know is it is a model "ATV-LIFT-1500"

Do a search on ebay - you'll find it.[/b]

 

Hello,

Does this jackstand have a manufacturer/brand name and model name? Also, is an adapter required when jacking up a Dyna? (eg. Super Glide, Wide Glide, etc).

Thanks,
Richard

 

6-1/4" Lowered. Way too high for me. Doubt if I could get it under the bike with the bike rolled up on 2x4's. That's about the highest I've ever seen.

'rdondes'...yes, you need the adaptors for any of that type of lift.

 

adapters for what?

 

How about a Craftsman from Sear for $70.00...

The frame is not symetrical on the bottom.3 points are the same height(from the floor) and the other is about 1 inch closer to the floor. While sitting on your bike, it's the right, rear point.The adapter kit have 3 spacers that clip to the frame(holding them on) and a shorter one for the odd point.

 

Are you saying there's an adapter kit you can buy? I recently bought a jack and was planning to make some kind of rig so I can use it on my FXD. But I'd rather buy one if it's not much.

 

Thanks pshawtx ...... just ordered one online for in store pick up tomorrow!
