Default RE: pick it up!!!

J & S, no doubts. you can climb all over your scoot while its raised Without Straps, and no worries about it falling. Heck, I grab mine by the bars and saddlebag rails and move the bike all over the garage when working on it, and I have NEVER used a strap. you can NOT do that with the sears jacks...(Don't ask me how I know this for certian, my old fatboy paid the price)

IF you want the best jack under your bike, then get the J&S

IF you dont understand the quality of a good jack, then buy something else

You have spent a lot of money on your bike, so think about that as you make all your purchasing decisions and you will make the right call.

PS....it's easy to be cheap

The sears yellow one has a locking bar that locks in four of five positions. Have used one for two years and no problems at all.
