Default Trip to J&S Jacks

Drove up to Little Chute, Wi. from Oshkosh, Wi. about 25 miles to pick up a new J&S Trike Jack. Called first to make sure they had one in stock. Got the model with air lift that just hooks up to a compressor. It will also work without it. Got a quick look around and they had put the jack together for me for no extra charge and loaded it into my Rav 4. Great guys to deal with. I have an older J&S jack for my previous bikes that I'm selling to a friend. It served me well for 12 years.

Ooops. I thought I took some pics of the process, but accidentally took short videos. DOH!!

Thinking about one of these as the wife just bought a Freewheeler. Are they going to make the oil pan for it? Was going to buy a table lift bet her trike took up that space.

Been waiting 6 weeks for mine! Wife is getting impatient waiting for DK Pro Action shocks and comfort ride setup to get installed - need the jack.

I have the air version of the Tri-glide J&S jack. Delivery was slow in 2018, They gave me wrong measurements for my storage situation, it finally arrived minus the bottle Jack.

They were always pleasant, even though seemed disorganized at the time. Jack works fine but I find it challenging to change the oils while in the air. Oil pan they sent doesn’t fit as it was designed for the jacks for the older tri-glides where the jack fits under the right-side not the ‘kickstand side’ as the 2018-19 require.

Good for cleaning the bike, even rolling it around in the garage though. And watch out for weakness in the two locking arms, one of mine bent and I had to have it straightened so it would secure the jack was locked while in the air.

Hopefully quality and organization will improve. They are nice ad try hard and will “make things good” if need be.

I bought the one that can be used with air or foot pump. Haven't hooked up the air yet since the foot pump works just fine. It rolls around my garage floor almost as easy as my Street Glide did with the original J&S jack. Happy with it so far.

I'd like to have a jack for my Tri-Glide but my garage already has too much "stuff" in it (a motorcycle jack,a motorcycle lift and a car floor jack so I don't know if I could make room for it!
