Default Pit Bull vs, J & S Lifts

Can owners of these lifts give positive and negatives of these lifts? Also different applications that have been helpful. There was a thread that included alot of different lifts so this one is to narrow it to the two. Which lift is more stable, easier to roll around are examples of information sought. I've been on vacation too long here in Florida watching all the riders wanting to get home to ridemy RK in the 40's. You Florida guys have great year round weather!

I have the J&S and use it on an 09 RKC. Made in the USA, Good quality, Holds the bike without the use of tie downs or straps. As of yet I have not found any negatives.

If it costs more there is usually a good reason why.

J & S here too. I haven't found any negatives. Can't imagine anything would work much better.

I can't help you out there. I have a J&S too and love it. I get a big kick out of putting my SG up and just rolling it around the garage. I had a Sears yellow jack that broke and decided to get a good jack. My HD dealer had the J&S in stock and I had a 20% off coupon for anything in the store. It was a no-brainer.

The Pit Bull is a nearly identical design from what I can tell looking at it on the internet. I'm sure it's good too, but the J&S was cheaper and I didn't have to pay any shipping.
