great score, congratulations. Good tools are worth the expense

 

For that amount I would have jumped on it as well. But if I was buying new, I'd get the PitBull with rotating turn table. Being able to spin the bike while up on the lift is a great option I think. Plus I think the PB lifts a little higher than the J & S.

I plan on ordering one myself in the next few weeks. I have a Red Craftsman now that I've had for many years, but when I attempted to put the Street Glide on it I became real nervous. Too much rocking back and forth.

 

Great find I love mine

 

Pitbull is a higher lift but it sacrifices some stability for that height.

 

Quite a bit to where I think a js is worth it. But don't see the worth in a pitbull over the hf craftsman etc.

For 150 you got a super deal.

 

Yes, they sell the replacement bottle jack. They replaced mine last year under warranty.

 

Let me ask a question I have seem the Videos of the J&S and it looks like you just push it under and lift. Is it that easy are do you have to like most Jacks play around until you get the sweet spot.

 

Is anyone familiar with the PitBull Dolley Stand? It appears that would be a good addition to a jack, especially if it was compatible with the js jack.

 

On a Softail or Touring, you can pretty much just push it under and lift. I check to make sure the jack is reasonably centered front-to-back, and that the lift arms are fully underneath the left frame rails, then lift.

My Victory, OTOH, takes some work to find the sweet spot. But the Harley is cake.
