Gaffy52, Do you know anything about the late model Dynas needing frame adapters for jacking?

Short posts only. Something on the twin cam frames hangs down and interferes. Not so with evos. Its a Dyna only issue.

I haven't actually seen it because my WG is a 96 and no problem.

I have a jack almost like that one that I picked up from Northern Tool. I works great. The only thing I have to do is put a 2x4 piece of wood under the rear tire to get the clearance for it to get under the bike.

This one only has two wheels... looks about the same

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any experience with this type of lift myself.
&nbsp\\;
I have one.&nbsp\\; Wife bought it for our bikes a couple of years ago.&nbsp\\; A good cheap jack, imo...

I rebuilt a bike that was sitting on one of those Harbor Freight lifts for a couple of months.&nbsp\\; Great lift for the money!

damn man, I'm glad you said that. I'd all but given up on jacking my bike up. I about dropped her forking around with it, I'll definitely be getting that adapter.

I think its just a set of 4 plastic pieces that snap onto the frame and you jack on those. They give the clearance. Saw a pic but never used them.
