Is there a floor jack out there that will work on the 2014 Valkyrie? The MC jack I've been using for years was fine with other bikes but the Valkyrie's coolant bottle sticks down too low, my jack will hit it, can't find a way to use the jack I've had for years.

I dont know the type of jack that you have but if its like the typical mc jack with the flat pads it should be fine. The coolant bottle does not stick down lower than the exhaust and that is more than likely what would support the bike. I have seen wings do it but have never seen it done on our bikes.

I made a jack adapter that touches the bottom of the motor and the shock
pivot. I'm not happy with side-to-side stability though. A lot of folks just
put on a belly pan (or not even) and jack their bikes on the headers/plastic-cowling.

Here's my jack adapter...

My bike is held on 3 points, both front crash bars and the rear shock arm. If someone wanted to make a lift support like this I dont think it would be that hard. A flat plate with 3 extensions bolted to the plate would fit very nicely on a motorcycle jack.
