Any pictures of mods done to a M/C jack

I just picked up a craftsman jack and wondering if anyone would care to share the mods you did to your jack to safely lift our bikes? Thanks in advance.

Assuming your jack is like the Larin one, I did this for my 2006 Nomad (top adapter):

Later I found the jack adapter. A forum member (Idaho Jack) used to make these but I don't think makes them anymore. Once in a while you see one for sale. It was a much better solution. It's also on that web site above.

I gave away a whole heap of stuff including my Idaho adapter to the new owner when I sold my 1500 Nomad. That achieved two things...

1. He had a reliable way to lift his new bike, and

2. He's a stalwart Vulcan owner now, joined all the forums I pointed him towards, and joins for the yearly VROC rides. He later bought a 1600 Nomad as well, and recently a Voyager.

Giving away bike stuff you don't need is a sure-fire way to make new friends!
