Make sure you secure the bike to the jack. Things can get a bit tippy when you take one tire off.

I got the OEM FSM for the 1997 Dyna Glides coming in the mail. I have the Clymer's free with the bike, I have the Haynes coming in the mail, I also have both OEM parts manuals coming in the mail. Information is KING

Today as a Craftsman club member I got the red 1500 LB motorcycle jack for $79.99 and had $26 in points I redeemed so not a bad deal. I plan to do the mod to it I saw here or at the V-Twin board so it will work with bike without 2x4's or band aids I will secure it with straps when I lift it--thanks for all your tips and help.

Good for you, no such thing as too much information! (Except for TD and his love affair w/ SEAFOAM)

Dare I say it.....I use seafoam in my 2003 Nissan Xterra that is heavily modded for offroad use. Use it in gas tank and in vacuum hose that goes to intake. Lots of white smoke then poof. Seems to do it's job.

Picked up some Stabil for my hurricane gas I store the other day (I rotate stock every six mos or so) and the guy at Advanced Auto tried to sell me some Seafoam instead...kid you not.

Seems the Trail Dog influence reaches all the way down to Miami.
