Worth every penny and no exaggerations here about how well it works.
I have the Wheeldock Center Stand and it influenced my purchase of the J&S.
With the bike on the side stand and the center stand folded up I put a 3/4" strip of wood on the forward rail of the jack and place the jack so the rear rail is right on the folded legs of the Wheel Dock stand. It works like it's supposed to. This was suggested to me by Rod from Wheeldock. The bike is as steady as everyone describes. My Sears red jack went right in the garbage.

Check craigslist and ebay. Sometimes you can find some that are priced decent, so it makes the cost of painting them a little easier to handle. Cuz of course, the chance of finding a pair that are the same color of your bike is like finding a needle in a haystack. I was actually thinking of doing the same thing cuz I like the idea of locking latches on the hard bags. But I still like the nostalgic look of my leather bags.

Got The jack today, it is great! Way more steady then the other jack and very nice. I assembled it and put it right under the bike, never would feel comfortable taking my streetglide that high on the other jack. The old one my be fine to clean the wheels about an inch off the ground or what not but thats about it. I am happy i did it, and if you are on the fence just do it, i also got the drain pan and think that will be nice too from the looks of it. Thanks again for all the input guys!!
