Jacking up my Venture

[Rodburner]

I have the sears M/C jack theres a lota stuff under there to rock on and i seem to remember something about mounting 2x4s on the runners of this jack witch way do they mount down each runner or across from one to the other in two places or in block form @each corner? and do they go on edge or flat and thanks for all the help that is about to come oh! this is for a 2nd gen

Well, until I bought my lift adaptor from Carbonone, I used hockey pucks on the corners

Ive been using hockey pucks for years, however, you have to cut a pie shaped piece out of one puck to clear the side stand switch. I also found that the rubber runners on the jack still hit the motor. What I did was to cut the center strip out and leave the four corners on. It gives about 1/4" more clearance.

The last time mine was jacked up, it put a nasty rattle in the exhaust collector box.

It goes away [for now] when it warms up, but needs replacing.

I know folks have used 2X4's and hockey pucks, but Carbon One's lift adapter is the best thing going. His quality is impeccable and the adapter works perfectly...I have one myself and I wouldn't jack my G2 up without one

Carbon One's lift adapter is what I would recommend.

I use it to wash, repair, and maintain my bike. I would never jack it up without it.

I use the ATV lift from Sears and the two work great.
