#6901 dennyo2 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 389 Jack Stands 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Hi Everyone, I was wondering what kind of jack stands would work on my 06 Silverado, and where to buy them. Also does Lemon Pledge really work for detailing or is this some kind of joke? It seems to me that putting spray wax on the windscreen would impair your vision, or perhaps turn the plastic yellow after a while.

Mine has position locks that keep it in the air, and pressure off the jack itself. All the weight gets carried by the frame.

I'm looking for something that will make it easier to change oil, clean whitewalls, ect. Ive seen the jackstands that you hook under your wheel spindle and then pull down on a lever arm, but figured that the Road Star would be too heavy for them. I think I would be better off with a jack but cant justify $300.00 for a jack right now. The price of the bike, Nebraska sales tax, Ins. The better half said that all I was getting for B-days and X Mas for the next two years was a Big Bow to put on the Bike. Looks like I need to sign up for some Overtime at work. The bad thing about that is it cuts into my riding time. Kind of a Catch 22.

What year is your Silverado? It looks just like my 06 except for the pocket on the bags. Did you add that on yourself?

Those aren't the stock Silverado bags.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #6915 Greeny (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 502 Re:Jack Stands 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Denny... I've been using Lemon Pledge on the bike ever since I got it. I don't use it on the windshield though. It works great on the paint and chrome though. Bugs just wipe right off. Where abouts in NE do you live? I grew up in Beatrice and lived in Lincoln for a few years before moving to OK. Yeah I know...what's a Husker doing living in Sooner country. Still routing for the Huskers is what I'm doing! And I know that any year now they will be back in the running for national champs!! That's a good jack stand that Musky pointed you to. I need to get one myself. Ride safe my friend....greeny   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #6927 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1158 Re:Jack Stands 5 Years, 11 Months ago   Checker Auto Parts(go figure)sells a bike Jack for $50.00 dollars here!

Was Born in Humboldt, lived in Table Rock untill I was 5 then moved to Omaha. Now I cant wait to get out of here, the Mountains are calling me. I just love Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, any of them would do.

We're leaving out of Tulsa on 8/5 for Sturgis. We're spending a few days there then heading west through MT for Yellowstone. South through WY, ID and UT then back east though CO. Eventually we might make it back to Tulsa. We'll be out for about 2 weeks and over 3K miles. Let me know if you're interested. The more the merrier! ....greeny   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
