I have a question, I bought a small lift adapter for my valkyrie. But I'm wondering if it is strong enough?  It is made to bolt onto the two kickstand bolts, just wondering if anyone has one?  It is not very big kind of made like an  " H "...Thanks.....Mike

What size material is it made of. I had one welded up years ago and it would handle twice the weight of a Valk. Doesn't bolt to the kickstand attachment points though.

Does it have a leg out theleft side to stand on to raise the bike?

If so, you have a Rivco center stand............

Does it look similair to this?



This one is for a Harley, couldn't find the Valkyrie one on their site.

I remember those they bolt below the kickstand using the same bolts and them your regular ATV jack will have a flat area to lift the valk. They just replace the 2x4 blocks on the wood adapter. It stays with the bike all the time. Looked plenty strong to me.JMHO

I've got one of those permanent ones on. They're fine and plenty strong enough. The paint might be a bit thin though as mine has chipped on the front side and needs touching up.

If you do get the kickstand one, be sure its the stronger one with duralast coating. Or the best support adapter is the one that runs beneath the engine also on e-bay. A little more but well worth the bucks for the peace of mind.
