Dyna Bike jacks
Looks like my 2001 lowrider takes a different jack than the rest of the harley's, has to clear a skid plate on the right side frame rail, does anybody know of a jack maker that will fit these at a reasonable cost. Terry

What do you consider reasonable? You can get a J&S for $350 or so. or.....
I modified a sears red jack to handle a dyna frame without using those god-forsaken lift adapters for about $130 total ($120 for the jack..$10 from hardware store).

My latest Dyna FXD lift is hydraulic and bought from Harbor Freight for about $50 to $60. The frame underneath wasn't on the same level from side to side, so I just cut a piece of 1 x 2, padded it and screwed a short piece of 1 x 2 on the bottom to serve as a locator/stop so that I could just slide it over one end of one of the lift bars to even up the four contact points.
My bike sits steady on the lift. When not on the lift, the block serves as a kickstand block to keep the bike from leaning over so far while parked in the garage.

I bought the Harbor Freight jack which in stock form is too narrow to miss the skid plate under the frame. After looking at other fixes on the forum I realized that all that needed to be done is to unbolt the two lifting pads that make contact with the frame and position them to the outside instead of the inside. The only problem now is that the lifting pads will come in contact with the tie down loops welded to the main jack frame when the frame is in the lowered position. I used a dremel to notch the pads....now i'm back in business. Cost to modify = $0, plus i don't have any homemade pieces mounted to the jack. Looks like factory.

+5 on this, I added an additional 1/2" on each side and it just rolls under while on the stand and lifts. 1 man operation and perfectly situated every time.

Bike jack
I don't have a bike lift perse but I fabricated a "stand" out of 1.5" tubing. It either lifts the front or the rear wheel 10" of the ground, plenty of height for me to do what I need to do. I can easily raise OR lower the bike without help. Total cost $30 in material. I made an autocad drawing, let me know if anybody wants a copy (you will need AutoCad or AutoCad Light 2009 to open the file) or I can take pics and give you dimensions.

I have a lowered wide glide and use a Laren lift. None of the others like the Sears lifts, would clear the frame. Have to have the jack blocks from HD too, but it works fine for my bike, which sounds an awful like yours. The jack was under $200 shipped too.
