For those of you who use the red Sears motorcycle lift for your service work and have an evo motor.... does the Genuine Harley lift adapter p/n 98965-99 work or do you use a different adapter?
Thanks
Herb

 

I have the infamous red lift and the HD dyna adapter kit. It works but there is a method. I snap the 3 orange adapters to the frame but I put the 2 on the left side of the bike at an inward angle. Then I roll the lift under the bike until it contacts the adapters. Then I straddle the bike and start standing it up and pushing the lift further underneath as I go. If done right, this will also push the adpaters straight and level with the lift pads. Just lift it up from there and strap her down and go to work.

 

i use a 2x4 and it works fantastic!

 

True, if you want to be a cheapskate like Joe, use wood blocks but the 4th piece needs to be a different height to offset the frame on the rear right side.

Just kidding Joe...

 

wood works but kit from HD only cost me 17.00 I use it works fine

 

did the frames change at all with the new motor? Like I said I got EVO not TC and I wonder if it matters at all?

 

Must have, P&A catalog says works with 99 and up dyna's with TC motors.

 

just talked with the dealer parts guys says it should work, but they ain't the brightest people I've dealt with.

 

just one block of wood... about 6 in... see pic... that is all it takes and it is as solid as can be... i still strap... FXDC... it is no secret that i am cheap! ha ha ha! when you are only 26 and paid more for your bike than both your trucks combined i am not ashamed to admit if i can make it or fix it... i will!

Been know to cut corners myself. If I had 2 trucks and a bike at 26, I would have been doing alright.
