Question Not another Jack Thread!

Sorry to start another Jack thread but I'd like to get one of these (http://www.centerstand.com/). I sent an email a month ago asking if it will work on an 09 Ultra but I have had no response. Anyone have one, like it or not? I hate to buy from someone who doesn't respond to email any where else these are available?

Seen/heard of something similar on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motor...Q5fAccessories) and i was initially interested.


But for a few dollars more, I am getting a SEARS Craftsman yellow...primarily because it has casters that will allow me to move the bike around.

Seems to be a bit pricey for a few pieces of tube steel welded together. I bought my craftsman yellow jack right after christmas and it was only $129. Definitely worth the bucks.

Yeah, there is a benefit to having a jack and being able to raise both wheels but I like the simplicity of this and how easy it is to use. I just want something to help me clean the rear tire and maybe add air pressure.

For cleaning the bike I like this. Don Shalla also makes bike lifts which I don't see on his web site any more. The Super lift that I brought is real top notch quality.

I have a Heindl(?) jack like that. It worked great on my Dyna and Heritage, but I have trouble getting my Streetglide up on it.

Thursday night I busted my 3 year old Sears Yellow Jack after two pumps. Friday I bought a J & S Jack which is similar in design to a Pit Bull. I wish I had bought this one first. It is a dream to use. I can jack my bike 24" in the air and wheel it around like it weighs 20 lbs.

Bite the bullet one time and get a Pitbull. You will NEVER regret it. And you'll thank us later after you've had it a while and appreciate all it has to offer. Most stable unit on the market. Very reliable, and quite attractive if I do say so.....

The site says "FULL LIFT HEIGHT is 18"". How do you get yours to 24"?

First and foremost if I e-mailed a sales inquiry to a company and they hadn't responded back in a month that would tell me exactly how it would be if I bought and had a problem with it. Moving on.
