Lift adapter for Roadster

[cr0ft]

It does look awesome, but the cost is kind of painful, especially for Europeans.

Kern-Stabi over in Germany makes an incredible lift adapter plate for 100€-ish - it's a garage-only thing and not permanently mounted but incredibly sturdy and there's more steel in that than in these. Not sure I need permanent lift points on the bike when the cost triples from an already killer solution that admittedly isn't as convenient but is every bit as safe.

Actually, WSC3 helped me a great deal with the final version. (Spacer is on the way, William!)
With so many variations in the location / engine / dresser bars for a front bracket, Jack-Be-Quick has at least temporarily halted sale of the front bracket, but as you can see, the rear bracket can lift the entire bike safely.
If you put the right rail of the jack under the bracket (mounted to the frame) you'd lift the rear tire only.
The good news is, the price will be cut by about half (one bracket vs. 2) - $105 shipped. Includes all Stainless steel hardware.
Website still shows pricing for both, so if interested, email me at JackBeQuick.TBird@Gmail.com

EMAIL ADDRESS CORRECTED... TRY AGAIN!

If you have any picture with it installed that would be great!!

I am looking at the jack-be-quick as well for my 2012 Roadster that I just picked up. I sent an email to the company with some questions I had and this is the response I got back from them:

"Hi Matt, thanks for your interest. The front and rear or the rear alone of the R3 can be lifted with the one bracket, depending on the placement of the jack. The JBQ for R3 if so mounted just aft of the center of balance. If the left rail is placed under the JBQ you will lift both wheels. If the right rail is, you will lift the back wheel only. There is also an available bracket for the front if you want to lift the front by itself, but we may need to talk about that as there have been some fitment issues with some equipment.
Bob @ JBQ"

Maybe I am being dense (wouldn't be the first time) but I am not picturing all of this. If you want to raise both tires up in the air and you put the left rail of the lift under the bracket to lift up both tires, then where is the right rail going under? There is only one bracket being sold so is the right rail of my lift going up under the casings? Also, with this system do you have to take the brackets off when you want to do an oil change and drain the sump? Thank you for the help!

Right hand rail, rests under the sump very little weight on it I put a piece of 3/8 ply wood under the sump to spread the weight it's not necessary but I'm anal at times.

Forgot you have to be careful of how you phrase things here.

Just a follow up to my own inquiry on this for those of you who might be interested. I got the jack-be-quick in the mail and immediately found out that some of the spacers and all of the nylon locking nuts were not included in the box. I then received another email from JBQ asking me to take part of his survey for fitment issues so he could better serve future customers. I replied that jbq didn't fit my bike and that he did not include all of the hardware with the order in which I went to the hardware store to purchase myself to continue on with this. The response I received back was that 2012 must of been one of the changed years and he sent me a picture of how to grind off the corner of his product to make it fit. I find it comical that was the suggestion and told him I wouldn't care to do that after spending $100+ on a product that I expected to come with all items included and frankly...would fit. Sending it back to him now and starting at square one. Perhaps others had good luck with this product (depending on year made) but I certainly didn't and time to move on and find another solution to the problem.
