RE: Motorcycle Jacks....
I,ve got one too. Verry impressive demo they have. It only costs a little more to go first class. Spend 20+k for a bike and pick it up with an auto parts special. NOT ME!!!!!!!

Soos,
I have one also and would highly recommend it. I had the yellow Sears first I just did not like how it fitted under the frame. The J&S fits my RK frame perfect and is rock solid.

RE: Motorcycle Jacks....
I have the red one from Sears, and even though it works I have a couple of issues with it:
1) I have to put a board under the rear tire of my SG in order to get the jack under the rear cross member. Even then it seems like the jack support is too wide to fit inside the cross member. It would be better, IMO, if the jack support was a bit narrower.
2) I don't like how the jack lowers. I kind of "tap" on the release pedal and the bike jerks each time. Still better than just stomping on the pedal and letting it crash down on the side stand.
I like how the J&S jack comes down nice and slooooow.

RE: Motorcycle Jacks....
so how bad is shipping - unit cost enough - hidden cost like "shipping not included" can be a real surprise - anyone know of any "deals" on this unit??

I bought one of the J&S jacks as soon as I got my bagger. I had the Craftsman and used it for my Fatboy, but just did not trust it for the Ultra. Mine cost me 234.00 delivered, it is very heavy. They shipped it out and I recieved in three days. Great guys over there.
The J&S fits under my Fatboy no problem and it holds my Ultra up solid as a rock. That video on their web page is no trick, this thing is solid without any straps whatsoever.
I cannot reccomend it higher.
