RE: Lifting FXDL
You make almost anything for a lot less that'll work on getting the back wheel off the ground, but if you want the lift to work on both wheels at the same time, you'll need these adapters. This is actually one thing from the MoCo that works and is reasonably priced, but don't let on or they'll up the price.

I recently purchased the J&S Jack for my FXDLI. It slides under the frame easily and has rubber covers on the lift plates. It operates VERY smoothly and it is one of the best accessories I have bought for my bike. I use it every time I clean my bike or just to do some minor repairs or fluid changes. The owners of J&S suggested that I don't waste my money on the adapters and so far they are right. No marks or scratches on the frame after multiple uses and the bike is very stable when the jack is elevated.

I don't know about the J&S jack,but with my Sears jack if you don't use the Frame adaptors you're lifting with the oil pan not the frame on the left side.
Good Luck

RE: Lifting FXDL
I use those adapters for both, my wife's Low Rider & my Street Bob. I have the lift that came from Sam's Club (same as Sears, but lower price) & I have to roll thebikes up on some 2 X 8's (scrap lumber I had laying around) to be able to get the lift under with the adapters on the frame. The Street bob only needs a piece under the rear tire, but the Low Rider needs pieces under front & rear. I also put a piece under the jiffy stand so the bike doesn't lean over too far.

RE: Lifting FXDL
To make this easier I put hooks on the garage ceiling.
I hang rubber coated bike straps down to the bike.
Hook them up while sitting on the bike.
Then much easier to get the lift in place.
Instead of ordering the special adapter I made my own, glued low-nap carpet in key spots.
Wasn't that difficult and now I can get the bike up in under a minute with no worries.
