Do they mix?
If so where can I jack up my trike. I need to get under it to change the exhaust and put the comfort life on.
Thanks

Another option is the Pitbull Motorcycle Lift. They make a special adapter, just for the Tri-Glide & Freewheeler.

Devin (the "D" in DK) has one of these and loves it. I personally prefer a lift table. But the Pitbull is amazing strong and stable.
For doing the Comfort Lift Kit, I use a standard hydraulic jack,, or a scissor jack, and a couple of jack stands...only need the rear wheels off the ground, not the entire trike.

I used a floor jack and block of wood
Set jack under the lower shock mount
Once I had it up I used jack stands under the rear axle

Ran my rear wheels up on car ramps to install the bumper.Not sure if that would interfere with clearance for exhaust work.
i cut two 2x4's 5 inchs long and then cut two slots in them 2 1/2 inchs long. they fit right over the tie down loops and i use two $20 floor jacks. once up i place jackstands under it. i also used my two wheeler lift if i want the entire trike up in the air.

This is good for lifting the Trike up.
However, when doing the Comfort Lift kit you do Not want the jack stands under the axle or lower shock mounts (or any part of the swingarm). This will prevent being able to install the lift kit.
You can use the same method, but put jack stands (along with a piece of wood) under the cross members that are below the trunk. See step by step instructions at this LINK.

Be careful using a floor jack under the shock stand. I was attempting to put ramps under the back tires and figured one more pump on the jack would be just right........ as can be seen I had no problem getting to the slip-ons. Nothing damaged, just my pride, cause I had a bunch of boxes on the right side and the bike just eased over.
