Can I get this jack to work with my new FXDC?

 

There are some other threads about this jack. I think it required some kind of modification to the jack. Try searching the other threads.

 

yes there is a mod for the jacl do a serach it works real good

 

I think the mod they are talking about widens the pads on the jack. If you don't do that you will need jack adapters. They are from Harley and you can find them on their website. They make the bottom of the bike level where the jack comes in contact.

 

Do the mod, the adapters are a pain.

Mine broke within the first year. No replacement parts

 

I just answered this same question you posed on another website. Get a J&S jack....no adapters, wooded frames or anything else needed. There was a lengthy posting on jacks on this website within the past two weeks, and many others before that. Do a search to find these postings and see how many people suggest getting the J&S jack.

 

There are a lot of other, better jacks but if you are just looking for a good, inexpensive jack the red sears is fine. I bought it and did the quick modification and it works well enough. I have to bump my rear tire up to slide the jack under because my bike is lowered with 11" rear springs but its not a huge dilemna. Modifying the jack (moves the pads from the top of the arms to the outside of the arms) makes it a bit tricky get a pan to the oil drain but you can work it out a couple of ways. The jac is plenty sturdy and keeps the bike stable. I can work it by myself with no problem but still prefer to have an extra hand to lower it while i hold the bars for when it hits the ground. Long and short, if you are only using the jack a couple of times a year, it's perfectly fine. If you want to put your bike up every couple of days for polishing, spend the extra bucks and get a really nice one

 

Hello All, I use a sears jack on my superglide. Had to buy some slip-on adapters from the stealership and take a highspeed with a cut-off wheel to the support brace on the jack closest to the kickstand. works good, has lasted a long time.

 

no problems with mine on my 08 wide glide, my girls 1200c had to put bike up on blocks prior to lifting
