Default Jack question

I have a sears yellow jack the works ok, and was thinking of upgrading to a j&s jack. Has anyone done it and is it worth the extra to upgrade or just keep what I have? Thanks Kevin

100% WORTH IT!!!

My RK is so solid up there, I can run through the gears without any fear. Check out the videos on their website.

I went from the red Sams Club jack, ok for a 600 lb Honda but the 900 lb Harley NO WAY. It was downright scary and it was only 1" off the ground. Bought the J&S and the difference is HUGE. Solid as a rock. I have even climbed up on the bike while on the jack and I am 250 lb and it was still solid. Highly recommend.

Had the yellow jack for all of a day 3 years ago, scared the crap out of me the way my bike would sway and wobble on it.

Got a J&S Jack, thrilled with the quality and the stability

You could lift your bike to max height with no straps, start the motor, and bang your ol lady on it without a problem. J+S RULES!

I've had both. J&S is hands down built 1000 times better than the Sears model. You won't believe it til you witness it for yourself.
