Default Which motorcycle jack?

Wanting one, just not sure what is reliable. Amazon reviews are so mixed I don't want to make a purchase. Any suggestions?

Harbor Freight on 90th or Northern Tool on Pacific. Either one will set you up.

Depends on your budget. J&S would be my choice but they are a lil pricey.

Tools and equipment are my life blood, So when I looked at Jacks,It had to do the job and do it well. That ruled out the Harbor Freight and similar jacks. Check out the J&S web site and watch the video, that sold me right there and the jack works just like that, Hands free and smooth. Made in the USA

I just changed the rear tire on my Ultra by myself with one from H.F. a couple days ago. Even spun the bike around (180 degrees) sliding half the wheels sideways to bring the *** end around where I needed it. And then back around to pull it out of the garage.

Ready to take it for a spin the S&S carburetor just started dumping fluid out the overflow tube like crazy to the ground the moment I turned on the fuel. So I cleaned that up and walked away, still need to go back out to the garage and see what the hell that's all about.
