Many thanks for those pics. I've always heard those jacks work well, but never WHY they work well, so I was never sold on them. Pics being worth a thousand etc etc. now I understand it. I'm really tired of jerking around with my other jack, I think I'll need to get one of these.
I went to their website and they have about 6 or 8 models or options. What did you get?
I didn't get the oil pan adapter or the T-bar handle. This lift is so easy to move with the bike on it the T-bar isn't needed at all; I may pick up the oil pan adapter eventually, when I decide I'm tired of rolling around on my garage floor doing fluid changes
This lift is all that; it's so well built and easy to use, I've done some rather outrageous things to my Wide Glide while she's sitting on it. I do use a strap when I pull the rear wheel, she'd be a bit nose heavy due to how the lift arms are positioned and +2" over Wide Glide front forks but for most anything else, I just jump right in. Solid and stable.
Check out the video on the J&S website; it really is that stable. I can neither confirm or deny the rumors that during long winter nights I've been known to go out to the garage, get out a step ladder, turn up 80's metal or Jimmy Buffet really loud and drink adult beverages while sitting on the bike

It is expensive; but the very first time I lifted the bike I completely forgot how much I paid for it; I always say the two smartest things I've bought for this '13 is a Power Vision and the J&S.
On day 1 when I realized how easy this lift was to use I started keeping my Wide Glide on it constantly when I'm not riding. So simple to use, it just takes me a few moments to position the lift, raise the bike, and move her against the wall. Taking her back down again is just as easy.
I know I used this image earlier, but it tells the tale; the J&S is a solid, well built piece of equipment. When you consider how expensive these bikes are, the price of a tier 1 lift isn't all that expensive.
That's my view in my garage....

Think I'm going to temporarily take my tank lift off before my trip. Even though I know how much fuel I have left it's unsettling seeing that low fuel light come on in the middle of nowhere so early.

Thanks very much for that. I think that's going to be my Christmas present this year.
I hooked up the throttle cable. I'm only using the pull cable. I couldn't route it the way I really wanted but it's working fine. The stock cable I'm using is a little too long. I may revisit the throttle cables at a later date. I put the fuel tank back on and started the bike. The front brake light /switch is not giving me any **** this time.

Vroom! That always feels good, even if it's not ready to ride yet.

I'm liking the way this new exhaust system sounds. I can't wait to give it a road test. I'm going to ride it out to Edisto Beach asap. I have a left blinker hitting the tank cap/fuel gauge but the blinker is pointed down/not adjusted correctly and I think it can be adjusted out of the way. Or move the lever clamp assembly up a tad too.
Cleaned the chain with the new tool. Works pretty good. Took about 10 minutes and 1 liter of mineral spirits but I was being pretty aggressive with the pressure. Could probably do a routine cleaning with half that.
Not a spot of cleaner/schmutz on the frame, but it does kinda splatter around underneath from the box bouncing over links. (Ever take a **** while jumping rope?) It needs a longer drain tube. Doesn't bother me with my shitbox garage but I know some of you guys have some nice spaces.
I did "have to" clean the sprocket teeth by hand (rag around my finger) but, again, a more routine cleaning would be easier yet.
$30 well spent, I think.
The setup. I later moved the anchor cord to the axle spacer. Gritty-*** schmutz
Installed rox pivoting risers to get a more comfortable position. Have since painted the unpainted part of the bars. Installed plate and signal relocation kit from Great Bike Gear to make room for bags. Installed $50 set of bags on mounts I fabricated. Side view of newly installed bags.
