I have the J&S and it is possible. I was swapping out handlebars on my Springer while the wheels were at the powder-coaters and I would just jump on and off the bike at will to adjust bars, controls, etc. No straps, no tie-downs, no problem.

I did all the research dont bother with any thing but the j&s jack. your bike is worth the extra money check out youtube and type in craftsmans yellow jack this will give you an idea of how the cheaper jacks work

Default J&S jacks...

...I as well, have the J&S jack. With 40K in bikes in the garage, I wouldn't have settled for anything less. The video is true and you don't have to worry with tie-downs either. Well worth the money. No heart palpitations with it swaying on a cheap jack.

I tried to search it on YouTube but with no luck.

I have a GoodYear Jack that works fine.

Alain just my .02 here but I had a sears yellow, didnt like it and was thinking about bulldog, JS, whatever until I saw this in Thuderpress. Man I have to say if you have the room, this is the way to go IMO! One picture is a bit fuzzy but youll get the idea.

Good luck
