I can be so forgetfull at times I tied the red tape bud supplied to the front of the adapter and took it up around the mirrors so I would have to follow it down to remember why it was there. ???

Why not just weld a tang on that makes it impossible to put the kickstand up?

Damn, I knew I should have patented my idea ;)

Bud

Well dang.... now I have to get me a motorcycle jack AND an adapter!

**biscuitsngravy** · 02-03-2011, 05:57 PM

Bud,
I'll take one jack adapter. My zip code is: 50543. I'll pay by PayPal.

Thanks for your good work and efforts.

I see Idaho Jack Adapters are now coming with serial numbers.
Looks as if I got one pre stamping.

Seriously I asked and received a serial number.
Just a little late for stamping..
Bud this thing is great..Top notch quality all the way..

Witch way do I ware the ribbon over my left shoulder or right?

Yes, and since the new and improved version is less expensive the only solution is to buy a new one.

Actually Bud, I was referring to TC's "personal-adapter"; given his age an all...

Hey Bud,
I used my m/c jack and your adapter this morning to install my new V&H dual baggers. Your adapter sure made my jack work better than ever before. The bike was solid and I had no fears that it would fall down on me. After the installation, and before I started the bike, I took off the adapter and THEN removed the caution tape I had tied across the handlebars. ha ha.

Thanks again for your good idea with the adapter. I wish the best of success for you.

Hey Dave, I am glad that you like the adapter. I came up with it because I did not want to put my Nomad on wood blocks and hockey pucks. Seemed like trying to lift a stack on plates on ball bearings. Shudder the thought.

Thanks for mentioning the ribbon. You can see that it is a critical part of the kit and should never be forgotten.

The kudos are appreciated.

Now, I have 5 more at home. Who wants 'em??

vulcanguy · 03-16-2011, 07:53 AM

Just wanted to add my .02
I got your Idaho Jack adaptor last fall & the Nomad no longer is scared of heights.
The bike is solid sitting on that jack, no more rocking. I would recommend this product, thumbs up. Even at the original price I paid, worth every cent.
Thanks for a gr8 product & the green powder coat is A1!
Bud is a gr8 guy 2 deal with also!

Cheers

Just curious if these adapters work with any jack. I have the orange MC jack from Harbour Frieght. Let me know.

Yes, they do work with the HF jack. To you it would be $45 plus $15 shipping,,,,$60 total. If you are interested send me a PM and I will tell you how to order it.
