Hi all. I recently purchased a 2006 Rocket 3 Classic and looking for advice on lifting bike safely to elevate bike high enough to rotate wheels,remove wheels etc. I have the standard hydraulic jack as well as an ATV type jack and really don't want to buy a 200.00 lifting stand just for use on rear wheel. Any help is certainly appreciated. Thanks,Paul
 
Welcome to the nad house Paul, you will find a lot of intelligent guys in here to guide you with your mods and tunes, sadly, im not one of them
 
Welcome from NJ. try searching this site. Bike lift bike jack. Lots of info here
 
G'day and welcome. The ATV jack will work well, but you will need to fabricate, or otherwise acquire, a bracket to bolt on to the little holes on either side of the frame to support the bike on the ATV jack. I made a paddock stand and bracket, and the bracket works with the ATV jack. Instructions are here. Others have made better looking ones.
 
Thanks to all for your input on the cycle jack info. Best,Paul
 
Welcome from Germany! I simply took a piece of 3/4" steel, notched it for the mounting points and lay it right on top of the back arm of the atv jack. Works like a charm
 
A hearty WELCOME to ya, Paul!
