So let's get this right, my jack is junk because it is not a J&S. My motor is going to wear out because I don't use Amsoil. My motor isn't any good because it isn't a HQ build. My tires aren't any good because they are Dunlaps. I have a unsafe bike because I don't have a stabilizer, specifically a True-Track. ETC....ETC....ETC.... This owning a Harley thing is getting just a little difficult.
Thats friggin funny
.I don't have any of that crap, and my bike runs fine.

i forgot about the 350 dollar check. you can send that to me.
i bought my red sears jack three years ago. it has held up under many a bike. not only mine but all of my friends bikes. if they thought it was sheet they wouldnt have put thier expensive bikes on it. i understand some items out there fail and everyone is quick to condemn the whole. all products have a percentage of failure that is inherent to something that is man made. that is why companies have warranties, because they know a percentage of thier product will fail at some point in time.
so heres to all the folks who bought the red, yellow plaid or whatever jack. if it gets it off the ground i guess it did its job.

But I acknowledge there are many many happy Sears jack owners. If they're happy with them they should keep em.

If you have the red jack and have no problems with it then by all means continue using it. If it isn't broke then don't fix it. This problem is common enough with that jack that I wouldn't recommend it. The differance in the jacks is not simply the color by any stretch of the imagination.
