Default Happy to have a J&S Jack

Didn't realize how much I missed my J&S Jack until today. Several years ago I had a J&S Jack for my Street Glide and my Fat Boy but when I sold my bikes I also sold the jack. Yesterday I received my new J&S Jack and used it for the first time today. Man is it nice to have something to lift the bike up and work on it instead of working on the bike on the garage floor. What a great product.

I have had mine about 4 years and although it is pricey I still think it was money well spent. No matter if it is my Wideglide or RoadGlide Ultra I feel good knowing I can put either on that jack with no straps and they are 100% stable. When I first purchased it I figured it would get used for routine maintenance, fluid changes etc....... What I found out is that I use it way more than I expected, no matter if I am giving the bikes a complete wash or just going over them with Quick detail to get bugs etc... off the job is sooooo much easier with the bike on the jack where I can just scoot around it at eye level on a mechanics stool

11 trouble free years with my J&S Jack. It paid it's self off after the 3rd oil change back in 2008. Plus I like having my bike off the floor during the winter months. Great product....

I love mine too but really wish they'd get the bottle figured out. Mine died this spring 4 months out of 1 year warranty. To put it nicely communication required some persistence on my part.

I'll always cut a small made in America company some slack, but they just seemed kind of complacent instead of aggressively fixing the bottle issue when it was way too common the last 18 months or so.

Again, great jack overall. I use it way more than my table lift. No reason to crawl around on the floor for cleaning bike.
