Thumbs up J&S motorcycle dolly in the works

Talked to J & S at the Minneapolis International Motorcycle show on Feb 7th about them building a motorcycle dolly, with wheels, for those who have two or more bikes. This way you could lift a bike up with the J & S Jack, slide the dolly under the bike, lower it onto the dolly, have the tires off the floor and be able to move the bike around. Then use the lift for the other bike.

J & S said they have done the engineering and testing on the dolly and it should be ready for sale by the end of march! They said the price has not been determined as of yet. Keep checking their website for info on the Dolly.

IMO, this is good news for those of us who have more than one bike and have a J & S Jack.

Harbor Freight used to carry a similar stand but apparently it's no longer available.

I've thought about having one made locally.

I'm sure JS will make a great product however the price will likely be high which will limit it's sale.

My guess is that after the cost of the stand plus shipping, I bet a local welding shop can make an equally supportive stand cheaper than what JS can produce.

I mean what are talking about here; some steel supports, rubber pads and 4 industrial wheels.
The parts cost would probably be less that $25 then a $50 bill for putting it together.

I bet JS's model will retail for $150 plus.

I've been using homemade dolly's for years , dunno what engineering they had to do they are pretty damn simple to make. Have 3 around here now think I've got less than $100 in all of them.

I purchased 3 HF dolly's @ $35 (about). Use them all of the time with my K&L Fat Jack. I remove the casters for use on my Handy tables for serious work like sawing off the pivot shaft (big fun!).

I remember HF making them. Was recently looking for one and couldn't find any. Figures they quit making them.
