Don't remove the rear shocks at the same time. The bike will fall forward off the jack. I caught the bike just in time before it went over. I forgot I took off the left side, I had a towel over my fender and when I took the right one off the wheel went down and the rest of the bike went up and almost off the other side of the jack. I grabbed the fender strut just in time. I strap the bike down now all the time. I want no more surprises. Just because the jack is stable doesn't mean the bike can't fall off. Bike is a Dyna.

It seems like there's some sort of fanatic Jonestown cult surrounding these magical, mystical jacks. Or maybe when you buy one, you have to sign some sort of contract like this:

Maybe no straps, but I sure as hell put something under the wheel that's on the bike when I take a wheel off the other end. Unnecessary risk if it gets bumped, or whatever....(And yeah, I own a J&S too.)

Guess again, Jim Jones. I've been using my HF jack with no problem for several years and have enjoyed all the pizzas I bought with the money I didn't waste on the higher-priced jack.

I just ordered a J&S jack, but I opted for the free T-Bar handle instead of the oil drain shield. Ordered a wheel chock too. Can't wait for my new toys to get here.
