Sears Yellow Lift Weirdness
I have a dyna wide glide with the orange frame kit to lift my bike.
It seems the Sears yellow lift does not lift level. \\; \\; Is this normal?
This front tire rasies off the ground first and the rear wheel takes several pumps before it moves off the ground. \\; The lift looks realitively stable but the angle freaks me out.

Ok I have moved the front adaptors back and repositioned the jack.
It is still leaning slightly to the rear according to my level. \\; I suppose this is normal.
you can see the slight bend to the rear if you look close. \\; \\; I have the front 'orange blocks' against the jiffy stand mount.

RE: Sears Yellow Lift Weirdness
it is gonna lean towards the area that has the most weight (rear!!!)
the reason muds look so level is he has the tires supported...
my red leans to the rear a little and to the primary side a little.
