J & S also makes a dolly that works in conjunction with the jack. I haven't used this yet, but it looks handy.

I always hang mine upside-down, so it leaks on the ceiling instead of the floor.
No one looks up there.

 

"OK, we're ready!"

 

Could someone please explain the need to "get the tires off the ground" when storing for the winter? When I lived up in CT and also in UT I stored bikes over a lot of winters and never once heard of anybody expressing a need to get the bike up off the ground. All I ever did was remove the battery, set it on wood block and in the spring I put it on a charger for an hour or so.

I also hear something about not having the room to leave the bike on the kick stand. If you have enough room in the summer then why not the winter. Does your garage shrink in the cold? I mean, the bike is just as wide standing up as it is leaning over so....

 

For many decades I've stored bikes all winter on either outside on concrete or in an unheated garage slab on an old piece of carpet. When riding season came around I checked the tire pressures (along with the other stuff) and rode away. No issues other than a little flat spotting, which went away after a few miles.
So I don't understand the need to not have tires on the ground when it's cold. If there is a good explanation I'm open to hearing it.

 

Everyone knows $hit shrinks in the cold. You've never heard of "shrinkage"? The same applies when docking a boat or landing an airplane. It's amazing how small the dock becomes or how short the runway becomes when returning from a trip.

 

Never come in faster than you willing to hit the dock.

 

I'd like one just for the ease of maintenance and also with wheels on the bottom so I can slide it in nice and close to the wall since it's not coming out for several months. Makes oil changes and wheel cleaning a lot easier I bet.

 

After lots of research, I bought the J&S jack for its stability and ease of movement. No regrets. The jack really is an excellent product. If I'm lifting this beast off the ground, I want it to be with a quality jack!

 

If you already have a jack, you could get a dolly for storing...
