Wow...some different styles of lifting are listed...
Mine is simple. Leave bike on side stand, slide J&S Jack under from the right side, pump the jack's foor pedal to lift the bike. No holding of grips, or brakes, or even touching of the bike is requiered.
As for working on the right side...with the J&S, its not in the way of doing anything..and no straps needed...EVER!

I find from the passanger side, i leave the bike on the stand, i hold the front brake on so the bike does not roll or move. i slide the jack under and let it stick out the other side about an inch. you have to jack it up slowly and find the spot that lifts it up even, then what i did was put a stripe on my jack and a small stripe on the lower frame rail of my bike so now i know where to lift it everytime. hope this will help
did I miss something? Which is the passenger side of the bike?
With the bike on the jiffy stand I roll my jack under the bike and raise the jack a little until it contacts the frame. Then lift the bike so it is upright (just holding onto one grip from the jack side), check the jack is under both frame tubes and lift slowly. I always do it on my own, just taking things easy.
That's the only thing BDP left out, hold onto the grip as she goes up. Its easy. Mine lets down sorta quick, but remember hold onto grip and she will be on the ground fast, now while you still holding it upright with one hand ( other hand had to twist jack handle) kick or pull jack out of the way, kick a leg over your girl and breath.
I've another question about jacking up a touring bike if the op dosen't mind.
Do the touring bikes require a adapter for the jack?
I remember when I was on the Dyna forum and the talk about the adapters that were required for using a jack.
TIA.
The adapters are for the Dyna's. One spot on the Dyna frame is lower than the other three points the jack touches.

Bringing it down however,is another matter..
With the jack on the right side,and the Jiffy stand on the left,I get real nervous setting it down alone.
Usually I call Mama for some assistance.

No worries. I position her up high using the Pitbul jack and get to work. No need to tie her down although I don't think she'd mind one bit. When I'm done, I let her down reeeeeal slow. She's happy and I'm happy. Then I have a smoke!
