Dyna Jack Mod
Got tired of messing with wood and using my "third" hand to jack the Scoot. Had some "extree" square tubing and fired up the MIG.
Works great - no muss no fuss.
This started life as the Northern Cheap - on sale. Gotta believe this could be an option for the jack makers.

RE: Dyna Jack Mod
Guys - I guess I shouldn't have painted it to make it look like a normal jack. Look closely and you'll see the welds and added square tubing to widen it. That's an 18" ruler on it for scale. I also extended it 3 inches so it is easier to slide under the bike.
The stock jack is 8"wide between lift bars. The Dyna has a 9-1/2" "skid" plate / bar on the right side of the frame rail to protect the trans. To make it work (jack the bike) you have to either buy a jack kit from MoCo or use wood on the left frame rail.
I widened my jack to 14"so no wood / kit.
Navy - what kind of jack do you have that you don't need spacers??
Would've saved me some welding...

RE: Dyna Jack Mod
Mud - yer killin' me 
Take a look at the standard two square tubes the come off the jack - from the pump. There is a 3" section of 1-1/2" square tube welded to the outside of it and an arm welded to it - to the lift rails. That is how wide I made the jack. Also look at the bottom rails. See how they are now to the outside of the angle iron?? (instead of between them)
See the tabs I welded to them??
Measure a standard jack - inside to inside rail. Eight inch spread right?? Mine is 14" wide to clear the trans rail.
Damn - did I do so good it looks like a normal jack?? Or is this a optical seclusion??
BTW - Like your work - fender, tank is killer. I'm doing a similar tank (another efi with sealed in pump) but instead of hammering it, I'm gonna weld 1+" sides to it, like the old Triumph Bonnevile - like yours but adding capacity...
I knew I should have taken pics BEFORE I painted it...

RE: Dyna Jack Mod
NOW I do believe I SEE.
Thanx for the compliments,
and be sure to post up pix of your tank project.
Yeah I do remember the old Bonnevilles
bought my first new one in 1967
In 78 I bought a new 750 Twin.
