Lift Blocks adaptors for Dyna
Hey Guys
Where can I get the lift block adapters for putting a Dyna on the jack?...its for a 1997 Wide Glide....not a twin cam.
I was at the stealership and he could only find adapters for twin Cams.....or are they the same....catalog didnt have pics so Im not sure what he was looking at.
Maybe a link or part#.
I have a cheaper red lift (not Craftsman) ..not the best...but it is brand new...not ready to go buy another quite yet.
Thanks

These are the lift adapters for the Twin Cam, I don't know if they will work on older models. They are a pain to use and not as stable as I like. What type of jack do you have? Is it similar to the craftsman? If so, maybe try the jack mod.

Hey
Thanks for the links!
My jack isnt quite like the Craftsman...I saw that mod....wont work for me.
So...I decided to go with the blocks until I can get a different jack.
Maybe I need to ask the guys in the EVO section about the blocks.....could be the same...not sure though.

The blocks work better, and give more clearance for the jack if you remove those rectangular pieces, and replace them with glued-on half inch plywood. That reduces the thickness by about 1/2 inch, and still leaves clearance at the clutch cable and oil pan, at least on my bike.

What year is your bike?
Do you know if these blocks fit older EVOs...1979 FXDWG to be exact.
Thanks

on my TC a 2X4 on the front side of the jack works better than the adapters that came with the jack. More stable, sits more level too.

But....are you lifting from the kickstand side?.....never saw that before...you would think the kickstand would be in the way.
Im trying to avoid the acrobats of balancing the bike...thats where things can go bad real quick like.

I use 2 blocks on the kick stand side. It gives me enough clearance for the jack not to be on the oil pan.
Put the jack under the stand. Have a friend hold the bike upright. inspect to where the arms hit the pan. Add blocks I use 1 1/4 inch oak boards, 3 inch wide and 5 inches long-
I have 1/2 inch clearance and the bike is much more stable.
it works on my sears jack and Harbor Freight jack.
This way you can see what works for your bike without guessing.
