Pricey, but the peace of mind is worth it, IMHO.
You'll be glad you got it.

I am going to avhe a friend widen the arms on my HF when it arrives to make it even more stable, although with the feet as far apart as they already are it is pretty darn stable. It should be here within the week I hope, and I will do a full post. I wish I had other jacks here at the house so i could do a comparison. If anyone from Pitbull or J&S is reading...lots of free publicity for a jack!

Just got my J & S all I can say is sweet.... easy to use very stable no tie downs needed and you can wheel the bike all over the place easily.

Drew I'm sure the HF will serve the purpose ...the J & S is probably overkill for what I am going to use it for

I have a Craftsmen red and it wabbles so bad I do not realy trust it with my new bikes

Here is my HF Hi lift. J&S is way out of my budget. I am just a poor boy...
Teh base is 25" wide and the arms are 17" including the arms themselves. Much nicer than my yellow harbor freight.

J&S is made in the USA. Good technical support. Just slide the jack under the bike and lift.

It's expensive but a lot more cheaper than your bike falling to the floor.

I buy USA products and never have never been disappointed.

J&S Jacks offers superior quality American-made motorcycle accessories to keep that bond between you and your bike strong. Our Big Wheel Motorcycle Lift allows you to have access to every part of your motorcycle for maintenance tasks like oil changes and detailing, and even intensive repairs. Use our CamLock Motorcycle Wheel Chock for simple detailing tasks, hauling your bike on a trailer, and saving space in your garage.

For motorcycle lifts and wheel chocks that are second to none, choose J&S Jacks. And for friendly, old-fashioned customer service (the way it should be everywhere) choose J&S Jacks.

I'm just a happy customer that buys USA products.

What's that 800 phone number in China to get support for their product?

misunderstanding I guess , not really looking for a sales pitch woundering why J&S works so well , as I try to buy American allso that is not my problem , is the J&S wider, longer , pitched different or what , not trying to copy them or any thing like that just do not want to pay $400 to get a jack that is not any better than the one I have , maybe all of them leave the bikes tipy end to end
