The Carbon1 RSV stand is one of the best investments that I've ever made. Well worth every cent I paid.

To get by until you can purchase an adapter you can stratigically place some wood spacers on your lift under the frame to work. There was a sketch at one time showing sizes and cutouts to clear things in the way. There also is a drawing to make your own adapter. I'm not trying to cut into Carbon 1's deal but there are ways to get by in a pinch. Good luck...

Im trying to jack up my "Midnight venture" on a motorcyle stand to clean the rear wheel area...the stand wont fit under without resting on the oilpan.HELP!!!!!

 

 

If you are gonna do any work on your bike Larry's stand is the way to go. Well worth the price. Get the one with the legs. Craig

My lift is a 'home-made' job from plans I bought through the internet. It is much the same as the lifts sold by Canadian Tire etc. However to fit the Royal Star I added 4 U shaped rests with rubber in the bottom of the U. I slide the jack in from the right side, and align these 4 U shaped rests so that they lift on the frame. As I jack up, the bike comes off the side rest and sits on these 4 U shaped rests. Took some pics and I hope they show up good enough. If not, email me and I will send large pics to you.

Until you buy one of carbon ones stands, hockey pucks work great!

The Carbon1 RSV stand is truly brilliant, but took my existing Black-Jack, took a 2/4 piece of wood, fitted it to one side (platform) of the jack and wrapped it up with some industrial rubber, used the excess for the other side as it sits on the fins. The block fits the gap right in front of the rear wheel and I trust it implicitly. Recently threw on a set of pipes on my 08 and was confident enough to work under the bike while she idled, then again.....I'm known to be a little wild!

I just got my Carbon1 adapter and out of the box, half the paint was flaking off, other than that, I jacked up my 2008 Venture, pulled and tugged on back tire and pushed and shoved it back on, praying all the while, but it never moved. Other than the paint all gone on the adapter, I would not be without one now.

Same with me Baustin, but I didn't buy it for its finish. It does what it is intended to do and does it well!!!!!

I use a Larin jack. It comes w/ an adapter plate w/ 4 v shaped pieces. Works for what I need it to, but not very sturdy so need to be careful what you do.

 

When I had my Honda, a member on that forum I was one made a free standing stand like Carbon1. I could sit on the bike, tug, pull, etc. It was great. I am planning a carbon1 purchase in my future (just not sure when)

I use a Harbor Freight jack and some wood blocks to lift my RSV.

IMO, The carbon_1 adaptor is by far the most stable method to get your bike on a jack. It is attached, pinned, to your frame so it can't move, the pin goes through the two tabs where a center stand would mount. No offense intended to other methods but sooner or later murphy's law will catch up with the wood blocks, hockey pucks et al and the RSV will slip off. I also modified my larin lift to accept the lift adaptor better by adding angle iron.

+1 on the CarbonOne adapter. If you intend to do significant work, get the one with the legs. It allows you to pull the jack out and work on you bike without the jack handle being in the way. VERY stable.

 

You can find it in the Classifies under 2nd Gen Parts and Accessories.

 

You may want to PM Starbog. He sold his 2nd Gen and may have one available (don't know if he had one or if he did, if he already sold it). He is located in Chicago also.
