I looked at all those mentioned jacks. They just didn’t have enough meat in them. The welds looked bad. The sears web reviews were bad for their jacks. The seals blow out and no returns, not even a rebuild kit. Found the Harley jack at the dealer and liked what I saw in the construction and materials used. Its well built und made in the USA. It cost around 3 c-notes, a little pricy but I am not worried about the bike when I lift it. That’s worth it to me plus it has the bar and shield sticker on it. Its almost . Make it happen.

Get a good jack and then you won't have to worry about lifting the bike for cleaning on routine maintenance. Several good ones out there. I like my J&S lift/jack.
+1 on the J&S jack. Was in the area last week and picked one up. Got to see Jim of J&S climb all over his motorcycle when it was jacked up. Pretty impressive.
welcome to the forum, I'm a newbie too! I have a 09 EGC wish now I had bought the ultra. I'm a little afraid of these inexpensive jacks like the Harbor freight one. Scares me to think about an eight hundred and fifty pound bike on it. When I clean my rear wheel, I pull the hardbags off and put it on my trailer with the front tie downs in place, I use my auto scissor jack or my hydraulic floor jack under the back of the frame near the crossover pipe. Works well for me and I don't worry about dropping it. I'll buy a nice lift jack someday. I have read some threads about being careful letting the bike down with some of these cheaper jacks. Some have said they come down quick and can cause you to drop it. Good luck!
Over the years I have found most of the items like jacks etc to be pretty good; so I wouldn't worry about it at all.
Relatively inexpensive and works well. Can't condone not using straps, but I haven't used them so far.
Hope this helps
I have the exact same jack and it worked great on my Ultra 2-wheeler but not quite as good on my trike so I modified my car lift to accommodate the Tri-Glide.
