RE: cyclestand
I spin mine around all the time on my J&S jack. When I wash it, I roll it in and out of the shop with no worries. When I'm working on it, I also like to spin it around to get the "work side" closer to the work bench. Might as well spin it around if I can.
The jack also has locking bolts you can screw down against the floor to stop it from moving.
J&S is one of the best jacks out there and well worth the money. Of course, you are now going to hear from all the owners of Harbor Freight and Sears jack. They'll tell you to save your money for chrome.
I would NEVER try to spin my bike around and roll it in and out of my shop SAFELY with one of those jacks.
. . . OK, let the FLAMING begin! [:@]

RE: cyclestand
Don't know about the J&S, but I agree with the comment about Harbor Freight and Sears. I've had both in my past, used them for my shovelheads for years, but they were scary at best. I always made sure I had some sort of safety straps in case of failure or tip over. Now that I have the Road King, I would be scared to put it up on the cheap lift, much less try to move it. I was always told you get what you pay for and when I go too cheap. I always end up paying for something else in the long run. That being said,I think the Sears is better than Harbor Freight, but I will be checking out J&S. Thanks guys!

Be sure to get the oil pan option. Also, take a look at their video. It is 100% accurate. No straps and you can actually climb up and around on your bike. FOR REAL!

RE: cyclestand
WOW! Thanks for that info! I will definitely check that out! Of course, I make the guy on the front end in the picture look small, so I'm still not going to climb up on my front end, but hey, just knowing it can be done makes me feel safer. I'm sold!

I have used the Sears (red) jack on mine and roll it around alot.
I wish I would have gotten a J&S jack for sure.
Buck up the first time. You wont have to buy things twice. (my wifes suggestion)
