What do you use to jack up the TG to take off rear wheels. I need to adjust my drive belt.
Thanks a lot,

I have an ATV lift that I use on my Street Glide it seems to work. Looks like I can just lift it on the frame under the motor.
Thanks,

I did the same thing but I drilled 2 holes in my shop floor. Put in those 'Red Top' anchors in the floor. Now I just pull between the anchors, run a strap thru the wheel and secure the front wheel to the floor. Jack up the bike right at the back of the motor, slide auto ramps under the rear tires. Release the front strap and jack it up again. The front now comes up so I can put some jack stands under the front portion of the front of the frame.I have a strap anchored to the garage floor that I strap the front tire to then I raise the bike with my motorcycle jack
You can just drive the rear wheels up onto car ramps then just raise the front with your motorcycle jack if you are wanting to raise the whole bike then raise rear with floor jack enough to clear ramps , remove ramps and place jackstands under rear axel now you can remove rear tires for adjustments. just reverse steps when done.I did the same thing but I drilled 2 holes in my shop floor.

I can can slide under the trike very easy this way.
Getting it down I just jack up the front, put the front wheel on the ground and back off the ramps.
Ohhhhh I put a couple black plastic auto carpet rivets in the anchor holes to keep dirt and such out.

Got a pair of underwear that got quite soiled when i tried that the first time. Left rear wheel went up fine, right tire just scooted the ramp forward. There i am at a 45* angle trying to figure out what to do next. Ramps have rubber bases' on 'em to keep them from slipping.You can just drive the rear wheels up onto car ramps then just raise the front with your motorcycle jack if you are wanting to raise the whole bike then raise rear with floor jack enough to clear ramps , remove ramps and place jackstands under rear axel now you can remove rear tires for adjustments. just reverse steps when done.

If you put down a throw rug down under the ramp so the ramp & the tire are on the rug at the same time the ramp won't go anywhere. Preferably the carpet type.

Thanks Triker. I am buying a Tri-gilde here soon and didn't know my pitbull can still be used. This adapter can be bought from Pitbull jacks?
Looks like the right way to do it compared to the effort I currently put in. Does the adapter just sit on top of the lift bar and if so is it attached with bolts or free standing.
Thanks for the pictures.
Trikermutha, Where did you buy these? I looked all over the pitbull website and cant find any pictures or pricing for the adapters.
Got email from Tony at Pitbull jacks and he said they have the adapters for the tri-glide. They are $59.00 plus $10.00 shipping. Not bad. It is best to have the right stuff to lift one of those units up. Thats if you own a Pill bull jack.
J & S has a trike jack that works perfect. Lifts the whole trike up so you can wash and work on it easier. Great
I have the J & S Trike Jack and can't say enough about it. Great product and great company
