Harbor Freight here, gotta use a 10 lb plate to get it under the bike, but hey for $100.00 it's worth the little bit of effort to back it up on the plate, once on the jack then I slide my "home made" stand under it cause I don't trust it sitting on a Harbor Freight jack for very long.

What are the dimensions of your stand and how much taller would you make it if you could redo it?

Harbor freight has this for $80, I have the bike on 7/8" rubber horse pads and when I want to jack it up I just split the pads enough to put the jack between and slide it under while the tires are on the pads
I just bought it this weekend.. worked for me to do what I needed to do with it.. got my bike back up, removed the rear wheel to polish it and the caliper and caliper bracket

Recommend adding straps to that to keep it sturdy on the jack. I also throw a 4x4 under the rear tire to keep it balanced and maybe something under the front tire. View attachment 41994 I would rather be safe than sorry
Yeah, I only jacked mine up to first safety latch, when I removed the rear wheel, the front went down to the ground.. it was nice n easy, but wouldn't take it up n e higher.
