Install a cruise control and that adapter will move to second place!

There are a few "can't do without goodies" that I'm glad I have.
Light bar in the front, and "Electrical Connection's" running, brake & turn signal mod. in the back.
And another for riding at this time of year: Baker air wings.

I recently installed the same adapter on my Valk, too.  Handy as a doorknob!

I like mine. I have a sears jack, not the aluminum one. I find that I have to be very careful when positioning the jack, before I start raising the bike, to keep the forward jack blade from touching the headers. The adapter is about half as wide as the jack blades, and it has to land somewhere on the rear jack blade.
I can just slide a thick piece of paper between the forward jack blade and the headers after the bike is lifted. Wouldn't want to lift your bike by the headers...

 Be careful when you slide jack under bike that you do not push it too far beneath the bike. My jack has a cross support that will take out the spring to the kickstand if I push it under too far. Did that once and now I always get down and look under to make sure it is positioned correctly and not hittiing on kickstand.

It's a regular Harley FLH fairing and a Klock Werks windshield I would have to say the fairing is my number 1 add on. If any one is interested will be selling the road king saddle bags and are mounted on Kentucky drive quick release brackets nice large bags and work well. My painter finally got my hard bags done but still should report him to BBB long story!!!!

I installed one as well... I do not think of it as an accessory, but as a specialized tool. It greatly increases the stability of the bike while up on the jack.  I find it most useful for cleaning the bike's underbelly, wheels and tires...

It's also a nice place to mount two Freeway Blasters
