Question craftsman yellow motorcycle jack

Looking for a jack for lifting my 08 Road Glide was thinking of the Craftsman Pro Jack(yellow), any suggestions.

Got it, love it! Pro quality I feel.... (had the red one, not nearly as nice as yellow)

you can see the handle sticking up there behind my front wheel.

I've got both the red and yellow Craftsmen jacks. The red is much more sturdy, the yellow is lighter but flexes quite a bit. I mean the bike bounces front to back while it's up. I'm sure it's fine, just a little scary looking.

If the wife is reading, I'd trade both for a nice table jack...

Been using the yellow Craftsman lift for a couple yrs now & it has served me well. IMO it's way better (for several reasons) than the red Sears model I had before.
