^^^^ What always bothers me is when it lowers and the bike tips back over on the side stand. Just can't get used to it and always keep hands on the handle bar and seat just in case.

the hydraulic jack they use is so good that you can lower it slowly enough that anyone has all the time needed to leisurely stroll to the jiffy stand side to the bike no need to hold the bike from the jack side.
I'm a fan of J&S, been using for years now. Still impressed with how stable it is with the bike on the jack and like the safety feather where the steel arms are used to support the weight of the bike. Also easy to roll around in case you need to create space and makes cleaning much easier. Looks cool too, gives others a good look at the engine when it's raised. My two cents!
Found one on Craigslist for $190. Met the guy in liquor store parking lot, he said $170. He said he had two of them, and only needed one. I gave him the dough, he went inside and I hit the road.
Got mine on CL too almost two years ago for $150 it was like new Made my own oil drain pan and T handle Sold the garbage unsafe Harbor Freight jack I had the same day for $50 I could not be happier. I also buy up the Baxley wheel chicks on CL when they sell for cheap they are great too
