Default J&S for storage

I never understood why so many of you J&S owners liked keeping your bike up on your jack when it was in the garage..............until tonight. The weather has caused me to keep my bike in the garage a lot of this winter and I just parked the bike up tight against my old project car to make room for my SUV. I should have put it on the jack a long time ago. So much easier to maneuver and takes up less room than keeping the bike on the stand. Duh!!

Mine goes up after every ride, clear out of the way so the wife's SUV stays far away.

My wife laughs at me, but clean it, jack it up, put it on the battery tender and put the cover on it and it's ready to go the minute it warms up a little.

My Ultra goes up on the Jack...wifes Deluxe goes on a stand. Easy to manuver into a tighter space, and because they are upright, they take less space side to side, which allows me to put my car in the garage, as well as her's Both are on tenders, and have good storage covers on them

Yeah, you never know when your tires might develop "flat spots."

Ever had flat spots? What were the conditions? Type of floor, how long in place, what temperature range, what air pressure, brand of tire?

Yep, another J&S jack fan!
This is the first year I had the jack for storage. Sure made a lot more room in my shop!!
