I see you say you use a 2x4 up front but what about the back that oil pan protector lip hits before the other frame rail.
I jack it up with 3 points of contact. It's steady.

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.

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

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'...
