Magic would have been my guess too. I don't know how they do it, or how it's different from other jacks, but what I DO know is you'll never worry about it.

Now if this damn snow would go away I could take it down off the jack and ride it!

 

i'm impressed by the fact it doesn't require an adapter to work with a dyna.

 

The issue with the Sears jack isn't as much about how the bike sits on the jack, its the fact that the jack supports sway under the heavy weight of the bike. If you eliminate that swaying, the Sears jack would be just as stable. They've designed the J&S jack to be very stable, that's what makes the difference in cost.

About the only issue I could see with the J&S jack from the videos is that the frame that surrounds the bottle jack might be an obstacle to working on the bike unless its is jacked all the way up, but that's a nit, really, given how stable it is.

 

I got the Larin Mal-2c. Works good and still goes under my bike after lowering.

 

I have the sears yellow jack. Made for a lowered bike.

 

Any thoughts on the jack in the link below. Brutally honest thoughts would be appreciated

Sears yellow here for about 6 years now. No problems yet.

 

Is no better than the Sears red jack that often goes on sale for $89.99.

Either get the Sears red or yellow jack or jump into the deep in and get a JS Jacks for $400.

Note though IMO 90% of most people will do fine with the $90 Sears red jack.

 

Thanks guys.
