Amen on the yellow jack, love it. I've used the red one also, cheaper, but much heavier and harder to handle. Glad I got the yellow.

I've had the red and black one I picked up during a Christmas sale for $59 a few years ago, use the sh*t out of it and it is still working fine. Love it!

I have been using the red jack for a few years now. It never was as stable as I would like, not real bad just not to my expectations. Now the bottle jack itself has gone out and there is no rebuild kit for it and they want as much for the bottle jack as they do for the whole jack.

I never used one. Is it a bit nerve racking the fisrt time you lift your bike? I am guessing they are pretty easy to use? My driveway has a very minor incline, would that be an issue?

If the pipes go under the bike like they do on most sport bikes then it won't work. Usually, on an inline four this the most logical place to route them.

You could smelt it down and use it as a good door stop...

China Aluminum...

Maybe buy a sticker for it on ebay that says USA made like my J&S

I recently bought a Sears Yellow jack and add me to the list of satisfied users. I have a lift also but this will be easier to use for changing tires.
