I've got a McLaren that goes right under my lowered WG and a set of the HD frame adapters. Works fine, but my next investment is going to be a table lift.

 

I have found that there is no place for a seperate jack to support the engine while lifted. I've been messing with my isolators / true track lately since having the front set-up replaced (if you remember my thread showing half of the front stabilizer link missing). Figured I would go ahead and replace the isolators too. The front was easy with the bike being support by a wheel chock and using a small floor jack to support the motor once the isolator was removed from both the frame and motor mount. I tried lifting the bike to gain some better access to the rear and the modded jack was just purely in the way of everything I needed access to.

I haven't touched it in several weeks. I know, shame on me. Having lost my workspace has put me back to working in my yard that is made out of sand.

I have several other issues to deal with like a leaking damper bolt on one of the forks. Not sure if it came loose. Just flat-out getting tired of messing with the front end.

The other thread showing a sport bike being lifted off the ground via a tree limb and ratchet strap has me thinking. lol "Ya'll come'ere and watch this....."

 

damned backwoods mechaniacs.....lol

Reminds me of when I was kid, we used a chain fall over a big oak tree branch to pull manya car motor....

 

Are the adaptors really needed? I'm borrowing a buddies jack and don't want to buy the adaptors just for this one use. Can blocks of wood be used or something?

 

I have a 98 superglide and I do use little piece of plywood that are squares to lift my bike up. Now I put them under the frame to clear the bolts drainplug and exhaust . It works good for me but watch as you lift it.
