Jack/lift recommendations and lifting points for a 2003 Honda Shadow Black Widow?

​

Sup!

I recently bought a 2003 Honda Shadow Black Widow and I'm looking to buy a motorcycle jack/lift for doing basic maintenance and eventually things like removing the wheels.

I'm a bit confused about what type of jack would be best for this bike. Since the engine sits lower than the frame, it seems like a regular motorcycle jack may not have a good flat lifting surface.

For those of you who own or have worked on a Black Widow/Spirit:

- What type/brand of motorcycle jack or lift do you recommend?

- Where exactly are the safe lifting points on the Black Widow?

- If you have pictures of your setup or the exact lifting points, that would be really helpful!

Thanks!

Question about rear shock

Well question is basically - is this normal for Honda Shadow Black Widow? Left side rear shock seems to have that thread poking out, and im thinking should it be more deeper and should the shock go over that thread thing.

Going to a trip tomorrow.
