The beauty of the J&S is you just slide it under the bike while it's on the kickstand and just start jacking. Comes off the kickstand and straightens itself out. And the higher you jack it the more stable it is. And NO straps are required. I have mine up all the way and no worries.
That's the same method I use when getting my Ultra off of the ground, with the yellow lift....use it every time I ride
ditto with my 06 RKC, with the Sears yellow jack...a breeze. You will read many opinions about balance and it just depends if your jack is on correctly...or your jack is off. Keep trying different locations ,
Then as if by magic as I lifted the riser pads, they pulled out. I didn't realize there were removable adapter pads for high clearance bikes. Holy sh*t as*hole! Now it's 3.5" clearance fits under the bike easily & I'll give it another try.
The risers on the Sears jack make it very versitale. It will slide below my FLSTC with plenty of clearance. The Jack works well with or without frame protectors. Because the yellow is aluminum, it is light weight, easy to roll, and easy to store. I think you will be suprised at how well the yellow jack works once you work with the jack a little.
I work with a guy named Jack, he's a dick, but my Sears red jack works alot better than him and gets the job done, and doesn't asked to be paid more like the other loser Jack at work.
If you can figure that one out, your not as drunk as I am!
I love my J&S but it also hits the shocks on my softail when it is in a good balance point.
According to Jim at J&S, HD told him that lifting a softail on the shocks will not harm them. I still would use a frame protector just to get a wider grip on the frame.
