cycle jack

Has anyone modified a cycle jack to use on a SWING Or do i have to remove body panels Thanks Tony

Why not use a regular jack?

Does not look like there is enough frame when I put it under the swing Just wanted to check before i start jacking it up I had to modify my jack to fit my V Star

I do all my work on the centerstand and if I need the front wheel off the ground, I put a floor jack with a board on it underneath. There is a place with a frame close there (you can see the screws for the belly pan underneath.

I have never tried to put on a M/C lift.

hope this helps.

Everything is easy to get to probably won't need it for Maint. Just thought it would be easier to clean if it were a foot higher But will not take the chance Thanks Tony

I've considered the same thing, it would be handy to slip my bike jack under the SW. I put the Goldwing on it often for maintenance and even just to turn it around or move it in the garage. I'll have to take a better look at the SW's underside. It's indeed more comfortable for my old bones to have the bike raised up 18" off the ground.

At 67 I have to agree. I had to modify the cycle jack for my V-Star because of the frame If anybody knows anything about the V-Star 1100 you have to take the front header pipe off to change the oil filter Thank God for Moble 1 And the Jack makes it a lot easier Tony

Yes, with a bad back it sure does help. otherwise it's laying on the floor. hahahha
I had a friend come by while power walking (same age) and he said, (Never saw anyone work on a M/C sitting on a chair before) (had M/C jacked up to get to something.

Yep, that's me. I jack up the bikes and sit on my split level creeper which folds up to make a mechanic's seat. Big help for me as I near my seventh decade.
