Wink jack advice

I know that this may be obvious to some of you but for those that may benefit from it;
When you raise the bike on the jack use the safety catch levers and lower the jack to where it takes the strain off the bottle. I do it every time and it is a MUST for extended periods, if not your bottle seals will get damaged and the bottle will leak its fluid. Word to the wise.

My wife got me a J&S for Xmas and I could not be any happier, if fact my Ultra is up on it right now and has been for two days. Just bleed it down to the stops and no worries. Helps me make more room in the garage and I can roll it back out for more cleaning!

Picked up a J&S at Chicago IMS haven't lifted bike as yet but am confident it will work flawless. People at J&S were great at show went way out of their way with kindness towards my wife and I.

Here is a video that was made by a 3rd party( or so it seems). I'm not against the pitbull at all, just answering the "Video Made by JS" comment.
My JS got here Last Friday and I lifted it up last night. Very easy and very stable. I don't have to justify what I spend on anything for my ride, I just have to trust it. This jack I trust. Hurry up Spring!!!

There is no stability problem at full height. It comes in very handy if you need it, just use the stops not the bottle to hold it up. The PB is rock solid. The Youtube video comparison is pure BS.

Listened to all the hub-bub about the J&S Jack and, although I knew they were good, I never realized how good they were!

Had a PowerBuilt jack for the last 3 years and the bottle jack took a dump last week. Was going to get another inexpensive one again but HQ authorized the funds for the J&S!!

Never knew the bike could be this stable in the air with the J&S! The J&S Jack rocks!
