+1 on a J&S, I have had my bike on the lift all winter with no straps and no special blocks. I can hang off the front end without it moving

 

I never understood guys who trust their $18,000 bike to a cheap motorcycle lift. I bought a Pitbull Lift for dynas and I can use it for my low rider or my road king. To each his own I guess...

 

Interesting. You're not sure what you're doing? Do you lift your bike with your eyes closed?

 

I'm furly sure what I'm doin' and I could do it with my eyes closed with it strapped down and a block out! LOL Good catch and poke though!!

 

Glad you found the humor in it. Not a lot of people do.

 

+1 on that ,Never a problem with mine either.

 

I've done that BUT because of how the oil pan is situated and the frame up front, the bike does not sit level. Yes, if you strap it down the bike can't go anywhere. You also have to remember the bike is sitting on the oil pan when it's on the lift. Probably not a good idea.

Alright Jeff W, you being a relative newb (a "Prospect" still no less) apparently have no appreciation for the emotional investment some of our brothers on the Dyna forum have in this whole sears-jack-dyna-blocks-being-total-'pos' thing ... and you too, Dyna88 ... think that kind of 'innovation' will stand around here ...??? think again ... really ...!

I have no problems at all with the sears red jack and blocks. I put a 10 lb weight under the stand to upright the bike. Slide jack under. install blocks on exhaust side. Over to other side, lift the bike level with hand, install blocks on frame and make sure they are level with bottom of jack. Then I lift. Easy as can be. Now when my bike was lower(11" rear shocks), I had to ride the rear tire up on a 10lb. weight to raise the rear to get the jack with blocks under it. Again easy and works fine. Then for final measure strap down. some 2x4s would work just as easy, but, I bought the blocks a couple of years ago. It's gotta be operator error in why so many are having such a hard time with this. I can see that if the blocks are not level to the jack before lifting problems could occur.
