    Ron, my Freewheeler has the same frame as a Triglide

    I have used the rear cross member to jack it up, I place jack stands under the lower shock mounts or under the swing arm depending on what service I may be doing

    I hope this helps

    I've thought about that but don't really see any problem. I've jacked it several times this way with no problem.

    We've used both with no problems...been doing this for over a decade now...zero issues. AND, we do it a lot. Our last round of testing for the development of the NexGen Shocks had us jacking up the TG well over 100 times....probably closer to 300 times.

    The front crossmember is closer to the frame right angle, and there is less leverage on the frame. The rear crossmember has a VERY HEAVY solid bar of steel sitting in the crossmember channel, giving it some serious extra rigidity. The whole frame is over engineered and strong...either one is fine.

    Thanks Kevin - your every day functional testing results, speak for themselves.

    I have a hitch on my trike so I came up with this. The bar sits about an eighth of an inch below the mounting brackets so I had to add the shims(?) Notice how the jack is off center. That keeps the load centered so it lifts level. It does teeter while up so if doing ANY work you have to use jack stands as soon as its where you want it.

    Hey Smitty I have that same jack/crossbeam setup. It doesn't quite clear the stock exhaust so I just drive the rear wheels on a 2x6 or 2x8 piece of scrap lumber, then it will clear.

    I do like Ultra's crossmember idea though... probably gonna try that.

And I do have a new low profile jack. If you look at the way the guy on you tube has his jack you'll see he's using it after its on ramps which will work to get the ramps out.

    Didn't think of doing that. Good idea!
