Today it happened. My bike fell off my Harbor Freight bike jack. I have some sort of rattle in the front end, so I decided to put my stock springs back in instead of the Works kit to see if that changed anything. I jacked the bike up, didn't use straps because it was gonna be a quick job, turned my back to get my mechanics gloves and WHAMMO!

Thank goodness I had removed the FXDXT fairing already. My gas tank is smashed on the left side, left footpeg is bent, primary cover got some scratches from that footpeg, left saddlebag smashed, and left rear turn signal broken. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

The good news is I talked to my painter that just did the fairing, and he wants to remove the pinstriping and the HD logos from my tank and paint something new instead. And his price is very affordable.

So, I'll be ordering the J&S jack. The bike never sat well on that Harbor Freight POS. I should've known it would happen sooner or later.

I'm crushed.

If you don't have the J&S, strap 'em down guys!

 

I think I would have thrown up, good thing it didn't land on you

 

Yes, good thing indeed. My dogs were out there too, and they were clear too thank god. Somehow the bars didn't get any damage, no idea how though.

 

Ouch... same thing happened to me the other day unfortunately. BUT, thank God that there was a cushioned stool and some boxes that were able to break the fall. Only thing that broke on mine was the clutch lever. PHEW! But, lucky for you, it just gives you an excuse to change up the paint job a bit! haha.. sorry to hear that bro. But damn good thing you took the fairing off!

 

Oh man, to bad! At least no one got hurt. I have a K&L lift I don't trust. I think it's the frame on the bike. I need to use a special bracket just to get the bike to sit on the lift. It's weird setup.

 

F'ing thing sounded like an explosion hitting the ground like that. KABOOOOM. I couldn't believe I was able to pick it up by myself.

So, tomorrow, instead of riding all day, I'll be removing the tank and taking it for repairs. I'll be in the bottle the rest of the night.

 

I'd trade that bike for a new Dyna.

 

Adrenalin is a wonderful, in the right dose... and taken advantage of when you get a shot...

 

Man, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear about this, but, on the bright side, just think about how awesome the new paint is going to look!

 

Dude that sucks, I feel for ya. Sorry man keep your head up.
