Dan- don't forget to pick up a wire coat hanger when you're out shopping for jacks. You'll understand what I mean later. heehee

How many of you have to run the Nomad up on boards to get ANY jack under the bike? Let alone with Idaho's adapter. I have a very low profile jack but it doesn't lift the bike up evenly. Would the "idaho" help with mine? I can remove the two lift struts or whatever you want to call them. I've bought and sold the type of jack that most, here, seem to be using. {The H.F. and Craftsman style} because it wouldn't go under the bike. Doing it alone was almost dangerous.
At least with this one I can pull the bike up off the kick stand with one hand and kick/slide the lift under the bike with the other hand or my foot.

Rick, I have to run it up on boards for the Nomad even without the adapter.
On Cindy's Shadow I can slide the jack under if I stand the bike up first.

I can get the MAL-2C under the bike easily, even with the adapter, which comes with it, mounted. The adapter has adjustable V-blocks which contact the frame rails.
