Nice job!!

 

Why would anyone HOPE for the blocks to continue to work. I'm sure they do as that's a Dyna frame and the dyna frame requires the blocks if you're going to use a regular (not expensive) bike jack. If you want to spend $300-$400 on a jack that doesn't require the blocks (buiilt wider to accommodate the irregular frame), go for it. If you're into saving some cash then buy a sears jack and do the $10 mod to it. You'll have a sturdy lifting device at a very reasonable cost.

The blocks are junk IMO. Why would you design something in two pieces if you knew it was going to be a vital part of lifting the motorcycle? The least they could have done was make it a one-piece design. I had one of my adapters separate while the bike was on the lift. They are a hassle to line-up to get the bike/lift adapaters square on the jack.

Just do the mod and save yourself the headaches.

My motto: No adapters needed.

 

After looking at your pictures (Very nice by the way), I noticed you didn't transpose the front left (in last pic) bolt around. I'd think the threads would interfere with the kickstand. That's what I ended up doing, was just flipping the bolt around so the head was on the outside.

 

I can make something if there is a void in the market for a bitchen dyna lift block.
I need money as much as the next guy.
haven't had to deal with it on this bike but my back tires about gone and I really want to black my legs out...
I am thinking machined delrin channels backed up by 1/4 inch plate mated perfect to a dyna frame clearing all the accessories/boards/whatever.

 

Why make this more difficult than it needs to be? SC's remedy works flawlessly and is cheap, quick, and easy, all the qualities I love in my women...er I mean mods.

 

I just got this jack as a present. Is it going to require mods to lift my 2011 FLHR?

 

Never lifted an FLHR, but I believe this mod is only required for Dynas.

 

Beautiful ride! Good luck with that.

 

Just so we're clear, the jack doesn't *need* to be modded for the dyna but it sure makes life easier.

As for your FLHR, I believe your frame is flat all the way across the bottom so, no you don't need to mod your jack but it may help with stabilizing the bike a little more while on the jack.

The lift pads are kind of narrow. Give it a shot. Worst comes to worst, you set the jack back to oem.

The mod takes ~15-30min and $10 in nuts/bolts/washers.

 

Your right I forgot to do that , I don't remeber hittin the Stand. I'll try it this Weekend. So you feel this is Stable enough to pull my front end off? I'll strap the Bike down .
