I thought about that but I felt more comfortable doing what I did. I was concerned with having all of the the weight suspended off the sides of the arms. Either method should work for casual maintenance and cleaning. I'd go with the J&S if I planned to lift my bike more often and/or planned to move it around while it is on the lift.

Either way, good solutions to the awful construction of the H-D lift adapters. Why would they think it's a good idea to fab it in two pieces and then stick them together with double-sided tape?
FWIW, I used grade 8 bolts and the bike has been sitting on the lift now for well over a week. I see no bending of the bolts, and the bike feels pretty stable on the jack with the wider stance.
