I need to get a motorcycle jack for my Nightster to allow me to change the oil, wheels, etc.

The one I've been eyeballing is this one...

My only concern is I don't know if it will fit under my Nightster or not since the bike is so low. It's got the stock suspension on it so it isn't any lower than it came from the factory. However, when looking at it in the garage on the stand it seems like a jack would barely fit under there (if it even fits at all).

So, to all you guys with Nightsters, what jack to you use and does it fit under the bike fine?

 

Picked up my from Auto Zone, looks about same size of the one you posted.
but I still need to roll up on a board, to get the jack under It.

 

I have an OTC Stinger motorcycle jack , which is real similar to the sears red jack.
I can just slide it under a stock 48 if that helps.
Looks like the Sears needs 5 1/8" minimum to clear.
When I change oil , I jack the bike up , set it on 12" square plywood 1.5" thick under both tires and a 6x6" square 1.5" thick under the jiffy stand and set it back down on the wood.
This is the easiest for oil changes so far.
If you have the clearance under the left frame on the jiffy stand , it should work.

the craftsman just squeezes under there....sometimes i would roll up on a 1/2" piece of wood to make it easier, but it fits under there!

 

I actually have that exact one. It's a tight fit underneath, but it fits just fine and does the job well!

 

i got one of these on ebay - its enough to lift the front or rear off the floor and give me enough room to do what i need to do -- it wont lift it as high as a real jack but this works awsome and is very secure and hides away very easy ..

 

This is what I use and it will fit under a superlow.

I just roll mine up onto some old broken patio blocks, probaly an inch or so thick.

 

+1 on the scissor jack!

I've had one like the craftsman and it's just too big to keep around for something you only use once every few months. The flat scissor jacks like the black widow work well and are super easy to store.
