Good luck



that's a serious lift you've got there man. I actually was looking for something to keep the wheels off the ground during the winter and something that would allow me to finagle the bike into tight spaces for storage.

that's an awesome lift though.

I have had the Sears yellow jack for a couple of years now, and never had any problems with it. Put it in the corner of the garage and have it lifted all winter. Also work on it, and wash it out in the driveway. Pretty stable - should have fallen over a couple of times, but keeps it up OK. I have a Softail Deluxe, and put the orange frameguards on under it, and it all works great.

great thread, I am about a week or so from buying a jack and the J&S will win the battle, when I am not using the jack I want to be able to store it.

Thanks for the great info guys. My Christmas list included a jack. I was looking at the Youtube videos and saw this:

Any idea if this is custom? If not, looks like my list just got a little longer

I have the Handy air lift, with the side tables, as I also do a lot of ATV repair but today at Harbor Freight they had an aluminum bike lift for $114. I really looked good and had removable lift pads for low or high bikes. here is a link that shows them at $190. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94715

how exactly does that work. I don't really understand how the dude has that set up to back the bike down the ramp like that.

Buying a J&S jack is the best money i have spent since buying my new super glide in July....Well worth the money if you wrench on your own bikes.
