The law of diminishing returns applies. If you want to be able to lift your machine safely, work on it and set it down again, HF will take care of you for less than 100 bux. If you want to also be able to safely push your ride around your garage while its up on the jack, (I know, just sayin), you can triple the price. Then there are tables, (we all want one), which oddly don't allow you to waltz around the garage either but lift your ride, tools and parts up and down with panache while allowing you easy access to more areas of your ride. For more $$ still your table can be hydraulic, electric, diesel, or nuclear powered.

Sorry for the confusion on my part. Yes, I meant a Jack. I emailed J&S twice in the last week to see if it is low enough to slide under the Deluxe, but never have got a reply. I am wanting to know what is the best recommendation on a jack that will fit under the Deluxe.... or will I have to use something under the wheels in all cases? Sorry to those I offended by asking a MC jack question.......I would not have asked if I knew. Thx to those who replied with suggestions.

I have a 2016 Deluxe and a J&S Jack yes it will work fine on your Deluxe at stock ride height, Mine is lowered 1 inch front and back, I just put a piece of 3/4 inch ply wood(6 inch scrap square) under the kick stand and it slides right under no problem, J&S are pricey compared to others, But it is stable for maintenance with out having to strap the bike down.

sparky, yes I would think the Deluxe would be similar. The Deluxe shows approximately 4.3 inches of clearance. That's what I'm trying to find out about Jack's, something that will slide under there no problem. Thx again

I use a Harbor Freight jack I bought for 25$. Had a bad pump, so I retrofitted a small hydraulic jack in the place of the pump.

I've had one of these in my garage for 5 years, works great, no bleed down or issues. https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-l...ift-61632.html
Or this one: https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-l...ift-68892.html
With this added because the stock wheel clamp on the "LIFT" is junk https://www.harborfreight.com/Motorc...ock-69026.html
