Lift question...
My Buddy is comming down this weekend to change oil in his bike. Which got me thinking about a bike lift. He has a craftsman lift but with the lift adapters on, we have to run our Bikes on some 2x4's to get the clearance we need to get on the lift. I was wondering if any of you guys with Wide Glides have found a lift that will slide under with no problems???
Thanks,
KID

My yellow Sears is 3 and a half inches.
I want the JS, even though the sears works fine,
there is too much extra work - adapters, straps, etc.
How does the JS support the machine level w/o the adapters??
What's the low clearance on the red sears, if anyone has this jack??

I just bought the JS bike lift. It cost 328.00 shipped. I had the sears one junk. I have a 2003 dyna lowrider. It just slided under no adapters. I jacked it up and moved it around my driveway, with NO straps, it did not even vibrate. It is worth the money.

I have purchased a ATV/Motorcycle jack from a company called Northern Hydraulics. I don't have to put any adapters on it to lift the bike. My brother has a LowRider and the jack fits under it.

I jacked mine all the way up and then got on the bike to see if it would move and it did not

I have 2006 Wide Glide and the sears motorcycle jack. I have used the jack without any adapters and it works just fine. I looked closely and there did not seem to be any problems with interferences or clearances. However, I do need to sit on the bike and hold it upright while my wife rolls the jack under the bike.

I have a '06 SG, used to have a '97 WG. I lowered the new SG almost an inch. I've been using a Dunwell jack for many years without having to use any kind of ramps. Distance off the floor is 4".
