I've had a J&S for about three years and it's a great jack. I have not felt the need for the T-Bar but it may be fine. I do have the oil pan it it works just as intended.
Also, the service from the J&S guys is outstanding.

ooh - I was gonna say that but didn't wanna be a $&*# disturber...............ok, so maybe I did wanna be. I've seen lots on the JS and am gonna order one - should have got one before all the mods, it would have made it a whole lot easier to stuff that 200 in there.

Lucky I just finished my coffee... you cracked me up! 
That's what I have a 3.5 ton floor jack and 6 ton jack stands for!
I'm thinking that I might forgo the T-handle as my garage is only a two car and could fairly easily move the jack stand with bike around.
Now the oil pan... that seems like an interesting option. I already have the portable disposable pans. I'll think about this one.

I had the jack first and it is first class. I went to the Donnie Smith show and bought the oil pan and again it is first class, although overpriced. The t-bar handle might be nice but I can still push mine around by bending over. You just have to watch out for billygoats and ......

J & s jack
I HAVE ALL THREE BUT FOR MY NEEDS I SELDOME USE THE T-BAR. PASSENGER PEG AND ENGINE GUARD TO PUSH ASIDE AND PULL BACK TO DESIRED LOCATION WHILE SITTING ON A STOOL. ENJOY MY JACK AND IS PERFECT FOR MY LIMITED NEEDS. CLEANING AND MINOR MAINTENANCE. LIKE THEIR PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SO MUCH, GUESS I WOULD ORDER HAND CLEANER OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT THEY STARTED TO OFFER.

Got off the phone with Jim at J&S earlier and ordered the jack with oil pan. Shipping today and should be here middle of next week... just in time for oil change.
Appreciate all the positive posts in the forum!

When I ordered my J&S I went ahead and ordered the T handle and the oil pan. I find the handle works very well when rolling the bike around and prefer it to using the bike itself to roll the jack. My theory is the t handle is attached to the jack which has a lower center of gravity than the bike on the jack.
Drain pan adapter is awesome for service work. Directs the fluids to the pan and minimizes the mess.
