I lucked out and found a J&S jack 15 minutes from me ... the guy wanted 200. I was debating whether I wanted to go this route so I offered 100 bucks, and he said yes! It was like new and hardly used. After using it, the jack is worth the hype imo. Very stable and great control raising or lowering the bike, etc. Glad I bought it for sure.

Looks super clean. I didn't see a T handle in the pic. Not a deal breaker but grab it if available. If not pretty easy to make something work and very convenient for moving the jack around with or without a bike on it.

I can't believe I'm spending $400 for it too. And yeah, the second choice was the HF one, but I don't like it that it's not made in US.
Some of you may know my other thread about the "weird" suspension setup so I've decided to replace the front suspension with something else. To get that done it's a 3 hour job and I'm looking at $800-900 cost if done at the dealer, labor alone. So I'd rather spend half of that (or less) on a jack that will be a permanent thing for me - I really hope it's one and done. I'll take my time in my garage, and replace the front suspension stuff - I mean, it's the winter so what else can I do with this bike.

That's what I remember, and with tax and shipping I think it would have been about 850 or something.

You didn't do bad.
Not the deal of the century but plenty good enough.
They are an exceptional product as long as the hydraulic part does good
