The Pepsx stand is only 13" high, what good is that? If it was as high as the highest lift point of my Pit Bull Jack, then it would be useful to me.

Good concept though.....

See what's written on my shirt on my profile picture.....I know what he asked, I was just giving my unsolicited opinion........Not bad mouthing the product, in fact if it kept the bike up say 18"-20", I would probably buy one.

You want the K and L Motorcycle Shop Dolly. It is adjustable up and down as well as wide as you need. Solid and stable. Blue, good wheels, built stout. I lift my Road King with my HF Jack, put on the Dolly, and spin it around in the garage any way I want. I set my Dolly for as high as the jack will lift it, around 17".
I would do it again. This winter, cleaning the garage and moving the bike around will be a breeze.

You bought a $30K+ motorcycle - why trust it to a cheap China Freight jack? Highly recommend you search for a used J&S or Pitbull - both quality jacks that sold for $650+ new. Sadly J&S went out of business. Pitbull may have too. I have both - prefer the J&S but it's lifting mechanism is 17" wide (w/ 17" base) while the Pitbull is 15.5" wide (w/ 24" base) which may make a difference on the '24's. Both can be found used in the $200 range.
