I really dont post all that much but when you mention the red sears jack I just cant get enough posts You are right to get the sears jack under the 2008 Ultra that I have I have to use my overhead crane and use the crane to lift the bike up over the jack and then it will work. Oh yeah the bike is already up in the air why do i need a jack oh well i still use the sears jack.
That's funny...lol

For me, I stand on the right side of the bike, squeeze the front brake lever to keep it from moving (you can wrap a strap around brake lever and grip to hold it), pull on the right grip to level the bike, slide the jack under the bike with my left hand, let the bike down onto the jack and start lifting..no issues.

so i bought this jack the other day and it doesn't even come close to getting under my ultra. i didn't think my bike was lowered but maybe by previous owner. i thought a bunch of people on here said they used it. did i put this thing together wrong?? did i just waste a hundred bucks?

+1 also stand bike straight up and put your jack where the bike will balance on the jack with the bags and tour pac you may want to set jack toward the rear of the bike .good luck and use straps if you go to limit on the jack.

+1 with what J. Dawson said....
Don't understand why ANYONE would want to have lumber around to lift what a jack itself is supposed to do...

What he says!!!Just roll it under and jack it up... no holding, no balancing.
Going down is even easier...make sure the side stand is down and lower the jack...bike settles on the stand.
So simple, a caveman can do it!!!
