I was at Daytona and saw a guy that had a nice frame locking system for his bike. The way it worked was it had a base that mounted solid to the floor of the trailer,and it had 2 tabs on each side with a 2" hole in each tab,then on his dyna(large frame bike) the bracket mounted at 4 spots on the underside of the frame, and it had a solid tube that when you roll your bike onto the trailer, the
solid tube of the bike aligns with the 2 tabs of the base and you slide a large(1 3/4") rod through all and then put a padlock through the end of the rod,
the soft tail frames basically worked the same except the bike part mounts on the front down tubes of the frame.This was an awesome system that requires no straps for hauling.
Heres the problem the guy told me that it was called "the biker...

I have a Sears MC/ATV lift, p/n 95019, and used it for the first time yesterday. It assembled super easy and seems to be of good quality.
The problem I had when lifting the '06 Low Rider, is that the saddles are too close together, and you can't lift it by the frame on both sides.
Is it safe to lift by the tranny on one side and frame on the other? Last thing I need is to damage the trans/engine mating.

Does anyone make a wider saddle attachment for these jacks? Sears' site says there are no add'l accessories for this one.

Thanks in advance.

Wednesday, midday, clippin' along at 68-70 mph on a straight, I glance over at the cows to my left...and the next thing I know I lose all KINDS of traction on the front, and it's a rodeo for about the next 8 seconds. I held on till the horn, Thank God, I know my Guardian Angels were workin' overtime with me right then. After what seemed I downshifted and mashed the back brake for about a thousand times in those 8 seconds, I guided my XL over to the shoulder, got off, and pulled it about 12 feet off of the road.

Then, I walked over to the little burger joint I happened to be next to at that point, went in, ordered lunch and sat down and ate and waited for the shakes.

They never came, and my pulse didn't even go crazy....still tryin' to figure that one out,...

I purchased my bike about 2 years ago and everything was fine for a few months then I stated to experience a starting problem where I would hit the starter button but nothing would happen except it appeared to have a direct short. All of the guages would flicker off when the started button was pressed. Some times after several attempts the starter would engage and the bike would start. I changed the starter relay several times to no avail. Now I am required to use a jumper wire from a 12 volt source directly to the starter solanoid. It then starts everytime using this method. No other electrical problems have been encountered.
Sure could use some pointers.

My friend just purchased a used 05 heratage 88tc. Only 8 thousand miles. The bike cuts out when it gets warmed up almost like it starves, he hits the throttle and it bogs then chokes and dies. He had it to a dealer and they reset and remapped the efi. but it still bogs out, Any sugestions or experiences here?
