I own a Pitbull. It has served me well over the past 5 years or so. The bike is very stable when it is loaded

The pitbull will give you more height but the J&S is more stable. There are videos you can google to see them up against each other then youcan make up your own mind

I've owned both. Sold the PitBull, still have the J&S. The double feet on the PitBull make doing work on the bottom side of the bike difficult. The J&S is very stable, and it blocks almost nothing on the bottom, and it takes up much less floor space, which in a tight garage makes a big difference. Just my $.02, YMMV.

I have the J&S. After researching them I felt the J&S fit my needs better

I have a Pitbull manual lift. Works very well for me. I especially like being able to move my bike around the garage with little effort.

Have also had my Heritage up on the lift for several months at a time during multiple deployments. Worked flawlessly every time. Quality lift in my opinion.

From reading the other posts, I don't believe you can go wrong with either lift.

I'm using the J&S, the RGC sat on it among of the winter. Stable, doesn't take up a lot of room, and if nothing else - cleaning the wheels is easy on it instead of torture!

I bought the J&S when I had a dyna because I didn't need to use any special spacers or blocks with it. Now have a Road King and it works great too. Money well spent.
