I have had one for years, bought it when I had my Nomad. Worked great for it and it works great for my Harley. Just don't forget to strap it down after you get it lifted.

 

I've had one for 10 years and it works fine. My only complaint is that the release valve is a little sensitive when letting the bike down. It does wobble a little because of it's size, but I've not heard of a single one failing in the hundreds of post on this forum over the years. You don't need the tie-down straps unless you take off a wheel and didn't center jack where the bike would be balance. I also have a Pit Bull that I don't use because it takes up to much room in my garage. It's more stable, but at five times the cost, it should be.

I've had one for 14 years now 0 problems. Same as the Craftsman jack just different color and cheaper priced.

 

Thanks everyone. Im not planning on using it alot. (least I hope I dont have to) so I didnt want to drop a lot of coin.

I totally understand the $25K bike/10cent stand analogy but I dont have a $1000 helmet either. To each his own.

 

 

How come you guys just don't buy a lift ?

 

 

 

I don't have one because I haven't needed one. I also park my wife's car and my truck in the garage. It's easy to move the bike on a J&S jack and not so easy to move a bike lift out of the way.

When I build my new shop I'm going to buy a lift and install it in a recess in the floor. It won't be in the way and vehicles can straddle it.
