Sears red jack modification
I'm not sure if anyone has thought of this but I came up with a solution to a problem that a lot of us have using the Sears red jack to lift our Dynas.
I certainly can't afford to spend $400 or so on a J&S or Pitbull that is built wide enough so the h-d lift adapters aren't necessary.
This technically falls within the 'Under $50' thread and I may post it there also but for now...here it is for your viewing pleasure.

Parts / Tools needed: (Added 4/9/2011)
4 - 1/2" x 6" bolts
8 - 1/2" ID fender washers (1 between bolt head and lift pad / 1 between nut and lift pad)
4 - 1/2" nylok nuts
4 - 1/2" ID x 1/2" long spacers *OPTIONAL* / Check clearance
1 - 1/2" metal drill bit
1 - Drill
1 - Hack saw / cut-off wheel / Saw-zall (power tool strongly recommended)
1 - 1/2" wrench (13mm is a good substitute) / or is that 9/16" (14mm as a substitute). My memory is getting worse by the day.
1 - Garbage can to throw away the Dyna Lift Adapters you bought from the MoCo.
1 - Cold beverage of your choice
1 - Good tunes on the radio
I think that covers it.
UPDATE Aug, 2011: Earthquake tested. Earthquake approved. Thanks to 8541hog for the impromptu (5.9 'quake in DC) research.

Oh great Vic, it's not enough I am in the midst of modding the bike, now you want me to mod my jack too....
Good idea, looks like I have a little project while I wait for my tins to come back.

Thanks. I was supposed to be in Daytona tonight (friday) with Sniper77 but my babysitter was unavailable and my fiance's worked today so that means I get to stay home. Same story tomorrow.
