I know there are a bunch of threads dealing with various jacks but not much regarding this brand. I see in the picks that it comes with an adaptor with adjustable contact points. Now I have seen several posts that mention this model but nobody, that I can find, has actually mentioned how that adapter works with a Dyna. Or does it?

I have this jack. The adapter does NOT work on the Dyna. The hydraulic jack part broke right away after I bought it. Don't waste your money on this one.

If you buy it, buy it local. Quality control is crap, so most likely you'll return it. Mine was missing some bolts/washers, and the frame was bent so you couldn't sit it on a level floor.....

Go to Sears and buy the $100 red jack. I've had one for 5 yrs and its held numerous Dynas, Softails and Touring models with no mishaps and no stupid adapters.

Bought a used one for $50 on CL. The adapter will work but here's what I did.
Bike was run up on blocks...2X8 for me and a block also under the jiffy stand. The added 1 1/2" of clearance was enough. I lowered the right rear V bracket as low as it would go due to the spline on the frame; then I had the 2 forward and the left rear adapter arms screwed up a measured 1 1/4 " higher than the right rear so that when jacked up the bike sat level on the carrage. I worked but I'm glad I only had $50 in the lift.
I'll sell it next spring or early summer.
