Bike jacks
I am looking toward a J&S bike lift for my basic repair and maintenance work.
Am I looking in the right direction or are there others out there as good for less $$ ?
Thanks for your help.

There are others out there for much less money, but you get what you pay for. Check out the Sear's jacks, and Harbor Freight. The Pitbull is an excellent jack, slightly more expensive than the J&S. I went with the J&S and have no regrets. I like the accessory oil drain attachment too.

J & S is definitely one of the finest bike jacks ever made.
But..... if you want 7 more inches of lift height, grease zerks on the moving parts, wider footprint, more stability, etc... you might as well spend a few more bucks and get the best.

J&S here, also spent the extra for the drain pan adapter and the T handle. This is a great jack (it to has grease zirks on the casters though not ALL the pivots like the other brand). I have used it on my 2010 Street Glide and my 2006 Street Bob, works like a champ on both bikes.

Yeah, those J&S look like great stands. Got one on my "whish list". Till then, I bought a Sears (yellow) ATV/MC stand. Works great for washing the bike and routine maintenance. Never had to use the straps it comes with. If you pay attention to where you center the jack, its pretty sturdy. Not too hard to figure out.
