So,
I have been researching this for a while. Currently using a platform jack that was already in my garage but it’s not really a great option to get both wheels off ground at same time. Realistically it lifts the rear Barry high enough to get the rear Tyre out and the front is still on the ground.... I have tried putting a second trolley jack under one of the engine bars at front and can just get front off the ground but it’s precarious and not really how I’d want to leave the bike for a few days...
I’ve looked at the two armed atv motorcycle jacks commonly online....I do have the JBQ rear mount but seems the other arm would sit under the sump plate.... I’m concerned about this... is that actually safe? Sump plates aren’t a usually the strongest point...
ive Also seen the big blue lift and that also seems to have one arm under the sump....
I’d be interested to hear if people have lifted a touring a lot with one arm under the sump? Or what are others doing in terms of how a jack is contacted with the bike??
I have seen one or two people have custom fabricated a bracket... I had considered this but I don’t have welding gear and getting a local shop to fabricate will be expensive
