Default I am impressed by JS

I just got this JS jack from fat daddy (mike), who by the way is a stand up guy, and I have to admit I was scared as hell jacking my bike with it for the first time. I don’t know why really, but it’s true. I guess because I have never lifted a big *** heavy bike like this one before. I had decided long ago that this jack was the one I was getting so no time to waste being nervous.

So the first thing out of the car and get it under the bike to see if it’s really as good as the videos make it look.





As many of you know already, yes it is. When I set it down I ran to the other side to grab it in case..no need for that.
This jack is everything that is described, and I am impressed as hell, although I am probably impressed easily.
I haven’t climbed all over it or anything but it rolls great and is very sturdy.
I am very happy with this jack and got a fantastic deal from Mike to boot!

Tomorrow it’s going to rain all day supposedly so it will be a garage/bike cleaning day and it will all be a lot easier.

When I'm not riding mine is up on the jack. J & S is in MY opinion is the best jack out there.

Does it not wobble at all? Are you able to do light wrenching or maybe have it up without a tire with little wobble?

Edit: well I just went to the website and answered my questions! Very impressive!

Yup, you can do all those things. I wrench on mine all the time while it’s on the jack. Just changed the front and back tires and didn’t even feel the need to strap the bike to the jack.

Yeah I started messing around a bit and it’s very well balanced and secure.
Which is great because I have chrome forks to get together.

The J&S jack is on my list of four best motorcycle items ever purchased. The others are (in no particular order) a Vista Cruise throttle lock, a Capt. Itch Crotch cooler and my Cool-*** reflective seat cover.

Yep, the videos on the J&S website are legit. I saw the same "sit on the front wheel" demonstration in person when J&S had a booth and a local MC show.
I've not done that, but I have climbed on the bike while on the jack, no wobble, very secure and solid.

I used the jack when I put new tires and brakes on my Limited. Bike was rock solid on the jack with one wheel removed, and both wheels removed.
And that was a lot more than light wrenching-

Rock solid and in my opinion, well worth the price.

Looks like you have been hitting the bugs a bit!

J&S jacks are awesome, no doubt
