Well I finished the lift 'mod' today, lifted the bike...very unsteady, lowered the lift, bike fell over and broke the clutch lever and perch ! Forgot that the kickstand would spring up when bike lifted ! So that's costing me $30 on e-bay for a replacement. Should have gone with the Harley blocks in the first place !...b.

This is why myself and others in this thread have been saying J&S; the Dyna is a unique beast, the modded lift will work but before my J&S I also used 2 jack stands to stabilize the bike, sort of a Rube Goldberg arrangement. Next time be very mindful of the Jiffy stand's position; gravity will always win. It's not just a good idea, it's the law
