The best jack ?

Hi Guys
There is alot of posts on this forum with regards to bike jacks.
I am based in the UK and the choice is limited so before I try and import one from the US can you guys tell me whats the best jack ?
I have a 2008 fatty and would like to use the jack for removing wheels and tin work for my winter project.
Also I would use it afterwards for detailing etc.
I have seen posts ref J & S Jacks and it seems very good is this the best Jack ?
Price is always inportant but I want this to be my first and last Jack I buy.

Regards

I really don't think it's necessary for you to have to import one from the US.
These jacks are really heavy and shipping will probably cost you more than the jack itself!

There's loads of good jacks available in the UK - I use one from machine mart (£116 quid approx)

Hope this helps.

in an effort to answer your question.... may I have a a minute and fourtyone seconds of your time to showcase my jack? even though... it would be cost prohibitive to ship one across the pond?

Nope - never used tie downs as they've not been necessary and yes you do get a frame guide but again I've never used it as it's surplus to requirements!

I found this jack through the HDRCGB forum - loads of the guys use it as it does exactly what it say's on the tin!
