Default Lifts for Lowered Bikes

I have an 07RKC which has been lowered an inch front & back. What's a good lift that will slide under the lowered frame?

Mine is also lowered and the yellow sears jack is the only one that will roll under mine. There may be others depending how much clearance you have.

I have to hold my bike upright to get the jack under it....no big deal.

Yellow sears will work.

You could also roll your bike onto a couple of boards to get addition clearance to get the jack under it.

I have a 2 ft 2x12 that I back my back tire onto and a jack slips under pretty easly.

I ride my rear tire onto an old 2x4 I keep in the garage. The jack slides under easily after that.

I have the red Sears jack. Pretty much the same as everyone else said. The back of my '98 Road King has been lowerred 1". Ride the back tire onto a piece of 2"x12" and put a brick under the jiffy stand. I had to put the brick under the jiffy stand to get the jack under before I lowerred the back. What I will say is the Sears yellow aluminum jack weight a lot less than the red version, but since I needed one for the shop at work and one for home I went with the red.
