Now that J&S Jacks is dead, what’s the next best?
Been out of the game for a while and am looking to get back in. I noticed J&S’s website is gone and there’s bad info about them closing all over the net. With that being said, which is the next best?
My future bike with be a 2023 CVO RG. So I’ll need a jack that can fit under it. Not interested in tables. I like the versatility of a jack like the J&S.
All opinions welcome.

Welcome back Master Gunny!
Sometimes you can find a used J&S on Facebook or Craigslist…..or here, but they go fast.
Pitbull and Redline are the most “close to” a J&S, IMO.
Some folks have talked about “Let’s Roll” dollys and lifts, but I have no experience with those.

I'm a poor hillbilly that survives on possum and raccoon vittles. Can't afford them thar fancy high dollarr jacks. Have had my Harbor Freight jack going on around for15 year now. Never had no problem. Just got to remember to lock it in if leaving jacked up overnight. Hope this helps. Probably not.

I have the old Craftsman floor jack. Used it on my Sportster, 2013 Street Glide, and have had the 2021 Street Glide on it. I do not keep any bike up on it for a length of time unless tires are off. My usual bike park is my Wheel Dock. I park on that when not riding.
No issues with either.
