Sears Yellow/Red Jacks
Hi all. Getting ready to do my 20k miles service on an '09 Electra Glide but I still need to get the jack. Wondering if anyone has experience with the yellow or red jack from SEARS, how good they are, and what the "real" difference is?
I don't care about turn tables or anything fancy. I just need something to reliably go up and down. Reliable being the big thing because I hate having to purchase things twice because I bought garbage the first time around.

My Sears Yellow Jack worked great until it broke. Then I had a tough time getting my bike down and ended up with 25# worth of scrap metal. Then I bought the J&S jack that I should have bought in the first place.

I have one from Menards that is the exact same thing that Sears sells as their red one. I use it all the time. Everytime the bike is washed it is up. Make sure you use the strap when working on it. I think they are pretty stable for the average DIY'r. I really don't think there is any need to spend big bucks on a table or anything. All up to you in the end.

I believe the yellow one is the better of the 2. Check out Harbor Freight also as a lot of people swear by them as well

I've used the yellow one on 3 different bikes. Didn't use it to do the oil change on my new RG but I'm sure it'll be fine for that too.
