RE: Bike jacks
There's no way I'd put my bike up on a $30 jack. Hate to find out the hard way that it's crap. $150 for the Sears yellow jack is cheap money for something that will last you a looooong time.

Pittbull Motorcycle Lifts are absolutel great. They are a little pricey but I think that they are worth every penney. The are extremely stable and well built. I don't exactly relish the idea of putting a $20,000.00+ bike on a cheap wobbly lift.

RE: Bike jacks
The yellow jack it a much better jack than the red and is also a little lower so it has better clearance. The first couple of times you use it you need to find the right balance point so the bike lifts evenly. After a couple of times, you get the hang of it. Don't know about a Low Rider, but I doubt the jack will block your drain plug. Buy it, try it and if it's not for you, return it.

Is the yellow jack better than the red? My neighbor lent me the red Sears jack and I couldn't get it to balance my Dyna Low Rider. The bike kept wanting to fall over, jack blocked the drain plug, etc.
