from the pic it looks like a big dog or someone not paying attention could walk past either tire and knock it over. i would prolly strap it yo! nice jack btw. i have the harbor freight 70 bucker. looks a lot like your but notquite the quality. good luck!

 

Not strapping a Sporty, regardless of the brand of lift,is asking for trouble in my opinion. They are easy to tip over sideways. Sure, I can put my Sporty on a lift and take a pic, but I really wouldn't want to work on it without straps. The Road King is another matter. It's not coming off short of getting hit by a car.

At any rate, my 99 dollarlift from Northern Tools has worked well for years. I use it at least once aweek, so it'sdurability can't be questioned. No need for anything any fancier, here. The J&S looks like a nice lift, but I ain't seeing 200+ bucks worth of difference.

My Sears red jack works perfect and cost $240 less than that jack.

One of the few things I ever learned watching "American Chopper" was what can happen when you don't strap your bike. I have a craftsman jack and a Harbor Freight lift and both get straps when the bike is on it. One minute job provides insurance against cranking too hardon parts and accidental bumps.

 

It didn't look any better than my generic bike jack until I saw it jacked up. The W-I-D-E frame platform is excellent. They should all be that wide. Very nice! *two thumbs up*

 

Would some one be so kind as to show the correct way to tie an FLT to the jack?
Thanks

You so funny!

 

Yes J&S makes great jacks & other (cheaper) jacks work well too. Like others say - couple of tie-downs & few extra seconds can save alot of $$$ & frustration. Nothing more frightening than hearing a loud "bang" when you walk away, or turn around & come back to big bike down...

 

I wanna know how to request a female UPS Delivery girl. Can you do that? I only ever see some old guy get out of the truck that stops at my house.

 

Come an Get It !!!
