RE: Motorcycle jack

RE: Motorcycle jack
If you're referring to the Torin Big Red that Pep Boys sells forget it. Dynas require a jack adapter to be able to use it. I e-mailed Torin...they do not offer any adapters for that jack.
I bought mine 2 years ago when I had a Suzuki Boulevard C90. Worked fine with that bike. I was surprised when it didn't work with my '06 Street Bob. Did some research and found out I needed an adapter. A couple of other jack companies sell them so I might buy one and try it with the Torin.

I have it and it works fine for what you want to do. You will need an adapter as others said - It can be had at your local dealer for ...$14 I think. I paid $29 for my jack and $14 for the adapter. Works like a charm.

RE: Motorcycle jack
I just bought a jack adapter for my WG from the HD dealer in town. These pieces fit on the frame to give it a lower spot for the jack to hitso the jack will work on the scooter. Only cost $23 out the door. Same thing was over $30 elsewhere and wasn't specifically for the WG.

Not sure I'd put a $15K motorcycle on a $29 jack, but that's just me,
Do a search in the forum - not sure the Pep Boys is covered - but if it's $29 - I'd stay away

RE: Motorcycle jack
Don't need a jack for fluid changes, and don't need "adapters" if you have access to some 1X6 and 2X4 scraps and some common sense.

RE: Motorcycle jack
I dont know Glide05 but it was on sale before Christmas down to $29 from$79so I bought It. It hasent had a problem yet and I dont think the price has anything to do with the reliabilty of the jack it seems to work just fine. I could have bought the Sears lift but then again a 15k Bike on a $90 lift - whats the difference.
