Got mine at Harbor Freight for $50 bucks. My buddy bought some onthe brand jack for over $100 and like mine a whole lot better. He said mine is way more stable.

$22,000 for the bike, trusting a $50.00 jack?? NOT in this lifetime.

J&S or pitbull are the way to go. Both are extremely stable, and solid AMERICAN MADE, and have great customer service.

the $50 dollar craftsman red jack has served me well for three years and three bikes 04 Dyna, 07 SG and 08 RG the last two tastefully blinged out--never a problem with the jack.

Default Cheap Jack

I bought a $50 cycle jack at Tractor Supply and it works great...EXCEPT it has gotten so it won't hold the pressure. When I jack up the bike and don't lock the lugs in, it will slowly lower??? Any ideas why it does that?????Thanks.

Could be bad seals or possibly the release on foot switch is'nt seating properly.
