Question for you Jack.............can you leave the adapter in place while riding? I ask because the friend who bought my 1500 Drifter hit a speed bump and damaged his case. He was thinking about something like this to protect the bottom of the engine while riding.

I will answer this but I'm not sure who Jack is. The adapter rides under the frame rails and will not provide any protection to the case. The kit comes with a 6 foot piece of red safety tape that you are supposed to tie between the mirrors when you install the adapter. You then only remove the ribbon after you have removed the adapter. This way you are ensured of not driving off with the adapter in place.

Duffy...I know from personal experience that the adaptor is not speed bump rated. I tie wrap mine to the frame so I can slide the jack under it. Once I got in a hurry and forgot it was still tie wrapped under there, took off and hit a speed bump. All hell broke loose down there. It was a 10 on the butt pucker scale for sure.

Idaho's jack adapter is a great tool! I use it to change oil, tires, and do other maintenance on my '06 Nomad and '99 Drifter. Solid and dependable.

I accidentally left mine pinned to the bike once (no zip ties). I rode around for 50 miles that way. Stopped by a Harley dealer and someone asked me what it was. Shit. Zip tied it up for the trip home.
