Geez Tig, WTF you do to those rims man?

That's the "it's Sunday and I want to ride but my back tire is toast and I have a new one on the patio but I don't have the proper tools to replace a motorcycle tire I bet I can do it with a tire iron and some screw drivers if I try" situation.

Thankfully, I have buddies with tire changing machines, my rims are probably the least beat up part of my bike.

Hey I had the tires didn't I? Yea I got back from the rally and then I was busy with the new gf and just let it get away from me. I'm already looking at another rear tire. I'm thinking I'll try the BT-21 in the rear and see how that goes...

The bike is fine on the stand but they do suggest that you use a spacer under the kick stand if necessary. Because it raises the wheel only about an 1/2 inch, I can't see where it would unduly stress the kick stand.

Sorry, I searched both Motorcyclist and Harbor Freight and I couldn't find anything. All they really need is the number off the coupon to input into the register. Heck, my coupon didn't want to scan either so she had to put the number in manually.

It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread or anything but it beats running my stands up and down three floors of stairs just to wipe off my rims or lube my chain.

I do sorta remember that PC thread... but it got so large I don't remember the particulars.

I didn't think about the height raising. And being I don't have to lube a chain, and cant really do both wheels at once... I guess I'll just stick to the craftsman mc jack for bike washing.

See those mc jacks scare me! I'd imagine that you strap or bolt the bike down somehow?

Gas Man · 06-19-2009, 06:25 PM

Nope... no straps....

I use to use the 2 small scissor jacks from the lift when washing a bike in the driveway but more recently I have been just using the sears jack... both to get the wheels to rotate

Here's the chop on the sears jack...

Honestly... strappin the bike to the jack would do NOTHING. Before I got the real lift I thought about putting in some concrete anchors so I could spin in some eye loops to strap to.

But if you want to see a stable as hell jack. Check out http://www.jsjacks.com/

For under $400 shipped the 18" of lift is great. I helped the neighbor wife buy one for my neighbor bud (her husband). Put it under even his non-flat railed frame. It was on the frame behind the motor and on the bottom of the oil pan in the front... still stable even on his driveway slant. AMAZING!

Amber Lamps · 06-19-2009, 07:00 PM

Wow! There was a guy one year in Daytona that was selling a bike jack that you first installed a kit on you bike which made the bike "snap" onto the jack. That bitch wasn't going anywhere. He would spin the bike around (a Goldwing, I believe) like it was on a carousel! My biggest problem with jacks is and this may be really, really stupid but I'd imagine that you can't actually "work" on the bike on the jack right? I mean if you remove a tire, for example, wouldn't that fuck up the balance and cause the bike to fall? I told you it was a stupid question btw!

Oh and I mean with the Craftman, not the "Uber-jack"
