Seems like a lot of money just to wash your bike, I use a field chair to work around the bike and then just lay down and wash the wheels. Basic I know, but I get my bike clean.

Have you seen this one at HF. It's really nice! And all the magazines have 20% discount coupons.
It's all aluminum and looks to be made very well.

Been using the J&S a couple years for my Ultra.....no problems ever. Well worth the money.

Looks like the Sears Yellow model has great reviews. Does it move around much?

I have the Red Craftsman Jack and have no issues with it. Does everything I need and I fel comfortable using it. I roll it out in the yard and use it to wash the Ultra. The Craftsmen Yellow jack is lighter and more expensive, but I don't pick up the jack and move it around anyhow.

I agree with the guy, with the EZ up wheel dock center stand, bought one, VERY satisfied with it. You can do all you service with bike straight up, put a 5/8" plywood under it and spin wheel for cleaning , park bike straight up. Then have a bike jack for working on bike, I also have the red sears one, no problems with it at all.
