Yes a damaged tank after it tipped over off of the jack. So yes stability is the only reason why I spent $400 bucks on jack to make sure things are done right with my $20k investment that sits on it. Hope this helps!!
Yes it does, Thanks for that info.

Make sure someone picks that up of your porch for you, otherwise the dude down the street will have a bad @ss jack for his shadow! (Well a guy with a honda might as well go to harbor frieght,cheap bike cheap jack!) Ya i just got home from a 350 mile ride down to walkers in san pedro,ca up the coast hwy1 and around LA area then other places and 1st thing i did was set it up in the air for another cleaning tomm!

Yea and I'm going down there for vacation. I'm from riverside California and visiting the parents. My wife and kids are already down there. Right now I live in Idaho and they really don't steal from here. Plus someone will be here to put it in the garage. The only thing my neighbors will use the jack for is their walkers. My dad and I are going for a ride when I get down there. He's got a 90FXR SG and we're trying to see if my Uncle will let me use his sporty.

You know what happens when you ASSume. I'm glad you like your jack and hope you get to spend many hours using it. Why diss others on what they purchase?

Trust me though sometime I still feel like I'm living in CA. THey think I'm wierd because I lock up the house and cars.

Oh have you ever done the rolling thunder memorial ride sponsored by skip fore dice harley in riverside?? My dad is on it today and there was 9k bike registered and walkins were flowing in this morning, my dad said. I did it back in 2003 and there was 6600 bikes. Its a good time. My dad has only missed one since they started it and that was only because My wife and I used his bike. Talk about a lot of bikes in one place.
