I have a Pit Bull that I use for the Road King and my Goldwing. It is a great tool. I can wheel either bike around at will and requires no straps. Very solid. I also have a Harbor Freight table lift that I would highly recommend.
The Pit Bull is built similar to the DunWell with one MAJOR difference. All four wheels on the DunWell are swiveling casters, while two on the Pit Bull are fixed, non-swivel. Makes a lot of difference on manuvering around the shop.

If you want a great quality, this one cant be beat http://www.dunwelljacks.com/ They are a bit costly, but worth it.

I have a Dunwell and it works great,even though you can roll it around while in the air it still gets me a little nervous. The Craftsman jack looks pretty good and is quite a bit less expensive.

H-D has an adapter kit for dynas..also the new sears jack has a lower clearance
ORIGINAL: exhdo1

I bought the one at Sams. I had to put spacers over the legs of the jack and under my frame rails to prevent jacking my DYNA up on the lower pan. I just purchased a Road King and according to specs it actually a bit lower than the DYNA which makes me think that might be more of an issue. If I get a chance I'll push it under and see if theres' clearance issues. RIDE STRAIGHT>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>

I take back my previous post. Unlike the Dyna, the Road King looks like the frame rails can rest directly on the jack arms. The Dyna has the bottom of the motor protruding beneath the frame rails. This being the case I would reccomend the Sams Club jack. Ride Straight.....................................exhdo 1

Just remember: If your buy a jack that is made in China, be sure and replace ALL the bolts with U.S. made Grade 8 bolts. Some Chinese bolts break after a few months and your bike will hit the floor sideways.
