Gentlemen,

Word of caution............... The HD frame adaters for the Dyna MAY fail. I had my WG on the jack doing some work and was putting some pretty good lateral pressure on the scooter, twisting it sideways a bit. The orange soft plastic part of the adapters is "TAPED", that's right, taped to the hard black plastic bases. The tape seperated, allowing the two parts to shift, causing the bike to flop over. Fortunately, the safety straps were in place and the whole thing didn't go *** over tea kettle. Was a little un-nerving getting the whole thing down off the jack alone without dropping on the floor. Serious "pucker factor" kicked in.

ALWAYS USE THE SAFETY STRAPS. Save my A** this time.

Think next project will be building "NEW" adapters out of angle steel, or going for a jack that doesn't need adapters, such as the J&S, or maybe buying a ramp type lift instead. If the GOOD jack is $400 and a ramp lift is $1K, the ramp is looking more appealing all the time.

 

Get the Dyna Series Pit Bull jack...no adapters needed, and it'll work with your buddy's non-Dynas, too.

 

Any links and pics? Would like to see one.

two by two or two by four's work better. but anytime you work on a bike and it is on a stand always use tie down's.

+1 for the pitbull.

 

youch... expensive.. on sale right now though. I am having trouble understanding how that lift works without the adaptors(the lift part still is flat like my sears jack). can anyone explain.

 

It seems that everything on the newer dynas may fail. HD better get their s**t together.

 

Looks like the lift is wider so it goes behind the tranny guard. Maybe someone who has the Bulldog lift will take some pics of thier bike on it.

 

I second that!!
