Lifting Bike with motorcycle floor jack
How do i lift my bike with bike jack? I tried raising the bike and found it to be tricky due to that guard beside the oil pan, making the bike unstable.What is the best way to raise the bike without any damage.Pics would be great as i am still learning my Dyna.

I'm going to modify my jack to this scenario, but I just jacked it up on the guard area and put a 2x4 on the front leg of the jack. Yes, it is unstable and that is why I am going to modify my jack to this spec. It's a great post.
Cheers.

They make a kit you can buy, which consists of 3 pieces of spacers that you push on to the frame to make all points level with the "protection plate" on the frame.
Check eBay for a set, or the dealer, or make a set out of 2X4's.
I bought the set years ago for about 30 bucks....works great!

Depends on the type jack you have. You can use adapters or like I did cut blocks of wood for my sears yellow jack and it works great. It would take more work to mod the sears yellow jack like the red jack. Here is a link to what one member did to use blocks where they are permanent. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...-adapters.html
Here's a link to Harley's website for the adapters they offer:
