My HF gold jack works great on my RKC, but has issues when trying to fit under my Sporty.

What jack do you guys use to lift your sporty?

 

You must have a different HF jack than I have. As long as I lift the bike with the kickstand up, it's all good.

Here's mine up on the jack:

 

I use the Red jack which also is not quite low enough to slide under the bike, but running the front wheel up on a scrap piece of 2x8 does the trick.

 

I use this Sears jack, I made a couple of wood spacers to prevent interference with underparts.

I use the Red jack from Sears.It works just fine for me.It slides right under the bike with no problems.

 

That's because your R model sits higher off the ground.

 

I attach four tie downs to the bike and raise it up hanging under with a four post car lift. I can take both wheels off and no worries about tipping. Looks weird but works great.

I had the bike lowered when I bought it.Front and rear and it still fits fine.

 

I just got one of these

I use the red Sears jack too and I have to stand the bike up to slide it under. Mine is not lowered at all.
