I did mine using the added spacers 1.5" on the left and .5" on the right. Works Great! Approximately 21" wide ( I just stacked fender washers to get make the spacers)

Just finished modding my jack. I went with 1/2" spacing on each side, the whole thing was a piece of cake. Thanks for all the input, can't wait to use it in the spring

Did the mod on my Harbor Freight this week. About 1" on left and 2" on right. Worked great. Thanks to all contributors��

I bought a red Craftsman jack on craigslist for $50 and did the mod today, very easy. I haven't had a chance to try it on the bike yet, maybe next week when my new rims get here.

Definitely get the 7" bolts and four 1/2" spacers, they are worth the search

I agree I'll be switching to 1/2" on both sides myself!
