You have $30K tied up in your SG?? I bet you have your dealer's handprints on both of your hips LOL Did it hurt when he stuck you for 10k in bling?? Let's see this 30k SG LOL How many miles does it have? Did you get that bubble cover for it? You know..the one with the air humidifier ??
Been there, done that. (and not bitching about it)
And no, I wont put mine on a $60 jack either.

Yeah what he said. I can't see spending thousands of dollars on a hd and trying to lift all that weight with cheap iron from china. I'm a welder by trade and i know junk iron when i see it, an lift's from hf are made of junk iron material. I lift my bike with a j&s jack and feel safe under and around it with no tie down straps. Top grade steel and hardware, great craftsman ship. You can buy with confidence when you buy a j&s jack. That's my 
A man that knows quality when he sees it & uses it! Finally! My J&S has almost paid for itself with what I am able to work on the bike myself! It will last for years to come & is made in the ole USA! They have excellent customer service also! See what happends when those $60.00 China jacks fall apart & drop your bike! LOL.........

I have had my HF yellow jack for 3 years and use it frequently. I always use the lock handle and ratchet ties. I feel confident in its construction and when installing my highway pegs I actually climbed on the bike while it was jacked up without worry. I have used this on both my RK and now my Limited. Buy what makes you happy. I am happy I am saving hundreds of $$$ on a jack.

I've also sat on the bike while in the air (only a couple of inches off the ground) to move the handle bar angle. I'm 225# and there were no issues for me.
Completely satisfied.

....guys that spend $400 + on a jack are going to defend it till the death as "better" than the cheap ones...guys with cheap ones(like me, Sears $49.95 red one on sale)..are gonna make fun of them for spending that much...they both do the job...
