I have the sears yellow jack, I ride a fxrs, the jiffy stand is mid bike and always had a problem with the jack supports hitting the stand. Had one of the guys in the toolroom at work make 4 "Y" supports and got rid of the flat pads, works great now. Didn't really want to get off topic here, but the jacks of any make are designed for one size fits all.

I have been wanting to pick up a Sears yellow jack as a back up but a ride from the Boston area to NY state for a deal would have to be a very good deal. How close to the MA border are you?

Kinda like bullets. Buy a gun for $1000, and put a cartridge that cost $.05. I mean for real. Who'd do something like that?

Booo Hooo .... I have a tissue for you...lol... guess i don't get it... As im sure you take your bike .. if you own one.. to the local dealer to change your fluids...lol.

And i'll say it again... A Sears or HF jack works fine for me and my needs...
