Anyone have specific opinion's on Craftsman series motorcycle jacks? What about a better type?

Thanks Rod

 

The Craftsman jacks require lift blocks on the newer Dynas, or a modification of the jack.

I have the J&S jack and it is great, no blocks required, but more expensive than the Sears jacks.

Look at a Black Widow jack.. great jack and not to expensive look at discountramps.com

 

I got a cheap one equivalent to the sears red jack for 69$ and just put a 12" slat of 1x3" on the one end and a 4" slat on the other and the bike goes up or down just fine.'Course for more money you can get more convenience!

 

The Harbor Freight one works without the blocks on a Dyna.

+1 on the J&S. I love mine!! Notice the bike isn't strapped down either!!

 

I second the J&S jack. Fits right under my lowrider, picks it up off of the jiffy stand and places it back down on it as well. No straps needed, solid as a rock, and is the ideal jack for a one man show.

 

Here's some pics!!



With the oil catcher. Pull all three plugs and let it drain!!

 

That HF jack is awesome. Gotta get one.

 

I love mine...We have a J&S at the shop and it is a great lift, just a little out of my personal budget for home. But, I use it when at the shop...
