Such a simple mod, but what a difference in stability. I had to give mine another 1/2" clearance between them but a small spacer fixed that up. Bike has been on the lift the past couple days while I do my swap and not a worry about stability.
Thanks Vic
I tried this mod yesterday but I couldn't get the jack to fit right under the bike. If I put the rear support just barely past the oil drain plug, the front support hits the sidestand spring. Maybe I can make it work with some spacers to make the distance between the 2 support arms wider. Looks like it will rest on the sidestand rubber stop even then, which will keep it from being totally stable.

So....remove the jiffystand stop. It only slips on the frame. I had the same issue. I didn't add a spacer. I removed the stop. Again, simple solution.
Just ran out and bought this jack and did this mod. Works great! Thanks so much for the solution to the dyna jacking issues. I read jack threads and reviews until I was dizzy and when I saw your video thats all I needed to see.
just did the same mod today but welded the new support back into the middle and cut the center bottom flat stock out and moved it in to 3 inchs all in all it works great
