I would go with the Sears Yellow. It has proven to be solid and reasonably priced.

It won't fit under my Lowrider! Needs special spacer for all Dynas. Have to drive up on a brick...pain in the A$$

I don't know about the one at PepBoys, but I bought a Goodyear from Sams Club. If it is similar quality, you will be fine I think. Mine is a little high and takes 2 people. One to stand the bike upright and the other to slide the jack under and line it up with the Dyna Adapter blocks. I am going to fab something this summer so that I can do it myself. Some sort of ramp with a cutout for the jack.

Jabo made the one with the 2X4's and pipeand it's very stable! ;)It was easy to make and use and cost about $30 in materials. We put a piece of carpet over the edge that the bike rests on so didn't need to round the edges. I'm super paranoid about anything that might hurt the bike and I really like this thing! Makes it so much easier to detail those spoked wheels and clean underneath!;)

I have the Larin jack that I bought from Sams club. It worked well on my 93 intruder, but thebeams that the bike rest on were just a hair narrower then I trusted to lift the new bike. I was able to find a local steel place and had two pieces of steel channel cut to 16 inches each, now it's wide enough for a large touring bike. Cost me 30 bucks instead of buying a new jack. Glued some hard rubber padding(anti fatigue mat) on the new beams. Some of the jacks out there only have 11 or 12 inch beams, and then a tie down point welded at the ends. It was these tie down points that were making contact with my frame, so, it would have scratched the heck out it, plus the bike wasn't actually sitting on the beams. My suggestion is to make sure the jack has beams that will suit your current bike safely with extra space on the beams, and a bigger bike if it's in your future.

Best dam $150 bucks you can spend on a Harley as far as doing all your maintenence, and detailing (especially the WHEELS!!). Getting the bike 16" up in the air is AWESOME for working on it!!!

I have the J&S...no straps, no problems. Very stable.

Skidmark - My FXDS has been lowered and I too had problems getting the lift under the bike alone until one of the HDF members gave this suggestion. Cut 3 2x8's about 10" long each. Bevel 1 edge of each one. Take the 2 beveled pieces and put the bevel under the front and rear tire and drive up on those. The 3rd 2x8 is to put under the jiffystand. Now you should be able to align the jack and get the bike on it by yourself. It really helps!
