I have looked at the J&S Tri Glide jack ... the problem I see is I do not have a Tri Glide, I have a Frankenstein conversion on a Sportster ... the configuration under my trike is different than the Tri Glide

I do appreciate all the ideas and suggestions ... the more I look, the more I lean toward a lift table ...

If you go the table route, be sure that it's wide enough for the trike.

It's a special table lift for a trike.

I know it's an old thread but my 2¢. I have a midrise scissor lift for a car. I got mine from Harbour Freight but there are others. I made a plywood box that sits on the lift. That is where I park my trike. It goes up 54". I can use it for my sidecar outfit too or my hot rod or my car. I can raise it up with just the box and it makes a good work table. It's overkill but works very well.

I wish I had a picture, But I'm using the same bike jack that I used with my 2 wheeled bike to lift my trike. Be it that it's the same bike with a frankenstein trike kit and only about 100 lbs heavier. Like other have said the center point has changed. If you have a bike jack that you like just play with it until you find center point

Only 50 here but my airlift table has already paid of IMO... I park one of the bikes on it when it's not in use.
