Motorcycle Jack for TBird?

Anyone know of one of the bike jacks on castors, like Sears sells, will work on a Thunderbird with a centerstand? If not, with the centerstand removed?

Not sure if that adapter will do much good because the engine is part of the frame. Denny uses a piece of wood with a Sears style jack I think so you don't need to get too fancy.

Mine came from Sam's Club. About four years ago. My local Sam's now has an Aluminum one for more money, but It's definitely nicer. It's very similar to the ones that are sold at Sears. I've seen the same jack at Pep Boys, and another similar one at Harbor Freight.

Actually I don't use the Jack very often, but when both wheels need to come off it's a necessity. So I figure for the amount of use it sees the inexpensive one is good enough for me.

As I don’t have a center stand on my TBS I use this “Booster Paddock Stand”. It can be used with a single hand.
