The aluminum yellow Craftsman Pro Jackat Sears is a much nicer jack then the red one for $80 more and it fits under the bike with it on the Jiffy stand. It also weighs a lot less. I decided to spend the extra money after seeing the cheapy ones for sale everywhere like Harbor Freight, Sam's, Pep Boy's etc.and looking at my buddies red one. Do a search, there are 100 threads on jacks.

I put it together this morning and Jacked up the sporty. Worked fine, was alittle tough on placement because of the jiffy!
Any advice on where to put the tiedowns, go over the top of thebike or through the engine compartment somewhere?

Thanks!

Go on the Pitbull lift site and take a look at that one. The deck is half again as big as those little lifts, goes up 25 inches, the wheels are made of the same stuff as bowling *****. You can spin it around on the floor whike it is up to the max. Best $400 I ever spent. ($399 show price)

I've owned the Harbor Freight orange jack andthe Sears red and yellow jacks, but the J & S jack is by far and away the best jack I've seen. My Road King was too unstable on the other 3. On the J & S it's rock solid with no tie downs.
