got the Torin Big Red, works fine. no problems. lifts the bike up, keeps the bike up, sets the bike down. pretty simple process.

yeah thats when I used the sears jack.. i had to strap it down to get it stable enough to work on it (the sears red one)
besides it wont exactly fit under my bike and I had to lift it up to get teh jack to stuff under..and it was even tougher when useing the softail frame protectors to get the jack away from the rear shocks

so I bought a J&S jack, slips under with the orange hd frame protectors and lifts teh bike without me holding the bike or lifting it up off teh jiff
while its in the air I dont need to strap it down, even if I totaly remove the front end(including the wheel) (making it pretty heavy in the rear.. still was stable)
