On the '18 softtails the Jiffy stand is located back a few inches from where they are located on previous models. I'm thinking this would interfere with the use of this lift. Am I correct?
Also, my bike has been lowered 1". Just wondering what the ground clearence needs to be to be able to use this lift?
For just routine cleaning and maintenance the Vlift seems to be a grreat choice.

First let me say that I did own a J&S jack back when I owned my Street Glide and my Fat Boy. And the J&S was the beat.
But I sold the jack when I sold my bikes.
Now I am the owner of a new FXLR and need to buy a jack. And because of the backlog on orders for the J&S I have been looking at other options.
I have the opportunity to purchase the HD jack and I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with the HD jack.
I don't expect the HD jack to compare to the J&S, but if it gets the job done that is all I need.
Thanks

Ok so, I got my jack less than a year ago. First bottle jack leaked like a stuck pig after about 6 months.
They were real cool about shipping me a replacement bottle jack ( same cheap sh*t one made in China )..
Worked fine for a bit...Now THAT one just started with not pumping up so I pulled the rubber plug and filled it with hydraulic jack oil.
Works again but there was and still is no sign of leakage so where the heck the oil went is beyond me.
Fingers crossed it continues to work.
