Got mine last wensday, I couldn't resist and tried it very carefully to start with but at full extention I was able to climb on move to the rear seat dangle my legs lean over the front forks ( not as far as him, but I do top 250 lb's
) flipped my buddy out 
It is super stable and lifts the bike amazing high! Pricey but in this case worth it I'd say!

RE: J&S Jack
I weigh a lot more than the wheel so I'd say yes, but a quick tie down would be cheap insurance The main difference I see between the sears jack and the J&S is how much wider the lift pads are apart, that makes it super stable when moving the bike, sortalike it's easier to push over someone with their feet close together and harder to do that to someone with their feet spread apart. Hey Soos those spacer's are great Thanks!

Can you do everything with the jack that they show and claim on their web site?

The J&S jack is great - just wish it had 4 rotating casters instead of 2 - Took the rear wheel off and put on the IDS and it was rock solid. I dont have any experience with any other jacks, but I would buy it again without hesitation.

Thanks for the good word guys.
Hey Gil, your tourpak replacement bushings are a great mod too! I was just too lazy to whip up a set myself. It's a lot easier when someone else does it.

RE: J&S Jack
Well, I went to the source itself. This is what J&S said about my original question.
Yes, you can remove the wheel. The weight of your bike should keep it solidly on the lift table. If you look at the video on our website, you see the guys hanging over either end, fender or handlebars, and the bike isn't going anywhere! Very scary the first few times, though!!
If you have any other concerns, just contact us!
