Saw posts here where several were installing this and loved it. Got mine within two days of purchase. Installed it in seconds and is the best item I have came across for my Valk yet. At a good price. Me being new to the bike, this will be a big help. Another plus to this board.  Thanks ! Here is the item mentioned.

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 installed one very similar to that model two months ago.  Came in handy when I replaced first the shock bushings then the universal and just this week the front tire.

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.

I bought the first one to hit e-bay of course paid more for it but is worth every penny. Did a few mods to my jack and really makes a secure platform. You can run a bolt or pin over the adapter to really help hold it in place. If your bike is going to fall off the jack is going with it. That was my number one mod until I started using GPS now it is #2.

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. Wink

I find it most useful for cleaning the bike's underbelly, wheels and tires... Lips Sealed
