Do they exist on the 1125 ?? Where are they? Anybody have pictures?

This is an old topic with no new answers...

Take a close look at the can. There should be arrows etched in showing you where to place the jacks.

I've looked... no marking.

Some other folks referred to weld markings which I can see. but they are on the sides towards the rear.

Nothing towards the front which is where I need to lift.

When they jacked mine up to replace the back tire they just put the jack under the whole exhaust. Worked out just fine.

I'm thinking about making some kind of cradle out of wood or something similar and distributing the weight across a wider area than the jack contact point. I've heard the wall of the muffler is thin. Sounds like the muffler mounts have no problem supporting the weight.

Ya, use a piece of wood so you don't scratch things.

The XB have jack point markings. I have seen some wooden cradles made for just that purpose. THere are also plenty of stands to raise the rear and/ or the front. One of the most cost effective is the T-Rex brand.
