Motorcycle Jack

[Shot]

I purchased a motorcycle jack from Pep Boys some time ago and have not used it as yet. Yesterday I slid it under my 2004 Venture R/S; I couldn't find a place to position the jack that might not cause damage. Also, is there something on the undercarriage that shows the center balance for my bike?

You will need an adapter to make it work. You can either make one or one of the members on this site makes them (I believe it's "Carbon One")

The Carbon1 adapter works well with my Sears jack. Its almost a necessity as heavy as these bikes are.

No question about it, get the CarbonOne lift adapter. You can find it in the Classified section. If you want to do more than just change the oil, you should probably spring for the one with the legs. It makes a nice, stable platform for your bike while allowing you to remove the jack.

I use four hockey pucks, one on each corner of the lift. One of them has a notch in it for the kick stand switch.

I've been using 4 pieces of 2x4 about 3 1/2 square; one on each corner. And I have TRIED to make it slip. I guess the frame kind of indents into the soft wood.

How do you keep the pieces of wood or the hockey pucks from moving on the stand?

After you have 900lbs of motorcycle sitting on them, they don't move.

Good point!
