Default Sears Red Jack Tie Down

Anyone got pictures they can post showing how they secured there Heritage to a Sears Red Jack, lifted mine and there isn't really a good place to position tie down straps.

That's about the best you're gonna get. Remember this jack is not meant for a lot of heavy duty work. The tie downs are meant to add some stability to the bike. You might try going in front of the tank too.

From the frame under the engine/transmission to the tie down points on the jack. tie it down at all four corners....that means four straps.

That may work I'll have to look and see if I can find some mini tie downs if they even exist as there is not a lot of space between the frame and the jack.

Ive used the same Sears jack on 2 touring and 2 Softails. Done a lot of work,pulled a lot of wheels.NEVER tied down,no problems. I studied it when I first got it 15 yrs ago and couldnt see how the tie down would make any difference.
