Here we go again....... LOL I am at bike week and bought a Pit Bull on Monday. I have been asking the same question for about 6 months. All are good, I just wanted something that I felt was made well. I have a 09 Ultra, my saddle bags are loaded and I put the bike up and wash it with almost no movement. I feel very comfortable with my choice. Good luck with yours. Be Safe JIM

Go J&S if you wanna spend the money, they are worth it. I'm happy with my Sears yellow jack though

Did my research too and posted a question some 2 weeks ago...
J&S was my choice....check out their vids on the website..
Got mine last week and could not be happier...cost a little $$..
but solid as a rock and well worth it..

Go ahead and pop for the J&S. I'm extremely happy with mine, and for me it was easy to justify the extra cash for something that I'll own for the rest of my life.
