Default J&S lift worth the money? or go with another?

Personally i don't have a problem saving up for the jack, (I'm a full time student at the moment), but i don't want to spend the money if another jack can do the same…for much less.

Anyone with one? please let me know.

I personally think there is no comparison.......the J&S is by far the top of the line as far as quality and function which is why it is priced the way it is.I use mine daily

They must be since everyone that owns one raves about it. I've never seen a negative comment.

As for doing the "same" job for less, you can get a much cheaper jack, but it will require a mod to work with your Dyna, and you won't be able to climb on top and spin while your bike is in the air.

I chose the Sears Red Jack and Mod for about $110 altogether. It works great for my needs, but I use tie downs and rarely have the bike in the air for more than an hour or so. If you plan on extended work on a jack with lots of center of gravity changes, i.e. removing anything heavier than a wheel, the extra money for J&S or Pitbull is probably worth it.

I have one negative comment. .but it's more a Dyna thing than the jack. I have to keep getting up and down, moving side to side left of bike to right, to line the jack rear rail up with the frame properly when I use it. Wish it was easier. There's a very narrow space to get that rail in. .without hitting the jiffy stand rubber bumper. I'd take the bumper off, but it's a pain to line it back up properly.

I use the modified Sear jack ~ $115 total, no complaints. Can spend more on mods now!

I park my bike on my J and S lift. My workshop is small so it lets me spin the bike 180 degrees to easily ride back out. It is a very high quality lift. You could go cheaper if you choose, but you can't go wrong with the J and S.
