That is what I do with my Pitbull.

Seems simple enough. But the Street Glide is too low. You get zero points.

The block under the jiffy stand doesn't work with the street glide. They sit lower than RK's and Ultra's.

Or...you can buy a jack that fits under a FLHX that doesn't need props...

JK - nice trick.

Well, if I had your money, I'd burn mine. And then I'd buy an expensive jack like yours which fits. But for $69, mine works just fine with .25 cents worth of plywood under the back tire.

Pads aren't for "lift"...they're "anti-static" carpet pads which work well for keeping some of the dust from clinging to the "black" bike...little trick I learned a few years back.

It's not about the $$$...it's all about what works best for "you." I'd rather roll the jack right under my scoot w/o having to roll it onto anything 1st...J&S was one of the few choices and this was a XMas gift so...I didn't pay a thing.
