I have the Sears yellow mostly because it slides under the very low frame of my chopper. Not rock solid but I've never had a problem. One day i'd like to get a bagger and I'll probably upgrade my jack then.

Totally agree! Top quality stuff the J&S and the way it lowers the bike down on the side stand without hassles is worth the extra money!

My J&S jack arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier! It shipped in one day (I'm in Illinois) and there was excellent communication from the folks at J&S. This thing is AWESOME. I'm very glad I went with spending the extra money on the J&S to support my $20K+ 09 Ultra Classic. Lifting the bike is effortless and, just like the pictures and videos, it is sturdy as hell. Pushing it around the garage couldn't be easier either. It doesn't get hung up on small rocks or gaps in the cement. It used to be a colossal pain in the *** maneuvering the bike back and forth to get it into the back corner but now I can just push it right into its parking spot along the wall with plenty of room in the garage for the wife's car.

Sure I could have saved money with a harbor freight or sears, and I didn't ask for any coupon codes or discounts, but I couldn't buy the peace of mind I have when my bike is up on the J&S, fully extended, and rock solid.

That post makes more sense to me than anything else posted on this thread.they oughta hire you to write their ads...I do remember a frantic call one night from a friend who's bike had fallen off his el-cheapo jack,and he was only working on the front tire.

How does the J+S secure the bike to the lift so solidly?
