For your bottle jack, what I did is a cut a six inch piece off a 2 x 4, drilled a one inch deep hole so the bottle jack extension top can insert in the hole. On the other end of the 2 x 4 piece, I grooved it into a u shape that forms against the radius of the frame where you jack up the bike. I’ve used this for years on my Gear-Up.
Loving the Chinese safety boots you're wearing when you put the bike on the centre stand. Many years before the RE 500 Classic with the side car I had a CX 500 with a sidecar. I used to carry 2 x 20 kg bags of dog food in the RE Classic and I had a ford fiesta fuel tank in the sidecar of the CX for ballast. It was connected to the main tank by a fuel pump , fuel line and a 3 way fuel tap so when I pulled into a servo I just filled the tank in the sidecar.
Another fun video. It's surprising what we end up carrying. You need a set of Baja tools if you want to be able to change tubes/tires. Worth the investment for sure. Also, check to see if your jack has a screw extension in the ram. Most of the bottle jacks will extend some if you unscrew the contact point.
Yeah , they usually do , the one in my car does , but the tiny jack I have on the Ural doesnt have that feature , but it packs up under seat , so I always have it.
That’s handy under your seat, my 2013 doesn’t have that, I think we all carry a lot with us.

Thanks
good idea , I'll see if I have a drill bit that big , I should be able to make something like that.
If the jack is anything like the one I have in my garage the top should unscrew it's designed to take the extra space

You must have had a decent fuel range 😀
Do you know most those jacks screw up the jack head so you don't need the wood block?

Thanks , I will check and see.
The end of your jack should wined out to extend it.

Great stuff. It is very nice to be able to carry a bunch of stuff that you may need sometime!
It’s luxurious compared to stuffing gear into saddle bags on the bike.
I have the same jack and welded a half round tube on top of it thats fits the frame to prevent the bike slipping off the jack.
Ah , good idea , now I a welder 👍

Good afternoon. What is the name of the compressor. Does it have a plug for a standard motorcycle outlet?
Yes it does have a plug for 12V , cant remember the brand , but just do a search for "12V Car Tyre Air Compressor"
