I can't believe no one has mentioned the HD HDP Twin Cam 88 Lift Adapters (HD Part #98965-99). My local dealer has them for $24.95. They level the bike on the stand to compensate for that bowtie gusset on the frame. I haven't ordered mine yet, but I'm aware it makes the bike much more stable on the yellow jack.

Harbor Freight holds FXDC 05 solid with mods shown below, no straps required, full confidence, as I move it about on the lifts wheels.

Someone on here, had a J&S, and the jack started 'leaking'. They called J&S, and ALL they wanted to know in Wi was, give us an address. It was on it's way, that day. No ? "akst".
They are INDEED, SOOOOPER guys. Met 'em multiple times over the years, mostly at the Donnie Smith shows up here.

Really like that jack.Just position it about an inch onto the bow tie and use the catches.Light and low.

No problems with my yellow jack. I use mine mainly for fluid changes, washing and checking spokes/cleaning wheels. If I was doing any hardcore wrenching, I would get a lift table. Yeah it's a little wobbly but it works fine for MY needs.

I brought a J&S jack and really glad I did. Very stable and you can't find better people to deal with.

Ive had my sears yellow jack for awhile now and love it. I use a pair of car jackstands on the front under the engine guard to stabilize it when I am doing heavy duty bolt breaking work. Here is a photo of my bike getting new shocks in the rear, and I had it on stands and jacks. Once I got it on stands I can pull the yellow jack out of the way to get easy access to under the bike.
