I have a lowered 2003 wideglide and i looked at a lot of jacks and the scary lift blocks and found the $69 harbor freight yellow jack has bolt on pad rails if you move the rails to the out side it works great and no blocks or 2x4s
yes that is it the pads unbolt and move in or out i moved mine all the way out i will take a pic and try too post it mine picks up at the rear peg mount and in front of the kick stand spring cross
That was sarcasm, we all know high dollar and Harbor Freight should never be used in the same sentance.

Get some 2X6 scraps and run the bike onto them before you slide the jack under (one for the jiffy stand also). Makes a world of difference.

Where the hell were you guys with the info on the J&S when I bought my high dollar Harbor Freight Jack????? I'm sure between the adapters and the jack I could have been real close to a good one. Oh well, it works and until it fails or scares the shit out of me I'll keep using it.
Rich is going to buy a J&S after he messed with mine. I think he has the yellow harbor freight jack. After I raised my bike all the way and he tried shaking it and he was sold because it didn't move. It cuts out all or most of the what if's.

hell, Fabricate some blocks, How hard can that be? and then set the bike up on the blocks, measure between the blocks side to side and fasten them together with flat stock to keep them from flipping over sideways..what im seeing in that pictures seems to be a very simple fix, From what i can see anyhow. Just looks like the blocks needed to have a wider bottom on them for a bigger foot print on the stand, so that they couldnt flip over on thier sides.
