Default Another jack question

Anyone know anything about these jacks good or bad? Found them on sale at Menards (of all places) for $60. Thanks.

Have heard good and bad reviews. Since you posted under the Dyna Glide section, I assume you have a dyna. If so, the jack will not work on a dyna without adapters.

Pain in the butt for a dyna, to narrow. I got a sears red jack for a $100 and did the mod where you spread the lift pads out and it works great with no adapters.

We all have nice bikes that would cost lots of $$$ to repair if it falls off an inexpensive or poorly constructed jack. Spend a few more bucks and get a J&S jack. Well-built, wider than most so it's super-stable and requires no adapters to lift the bike. Plus, they have super customer service, I have my '07 FXDL lifted on my J&S for the winter and can move it around in my garage like it's in a shopping cart! Take a look at the video on the J&S website (www.jsjacks.com).

Do the search on sears red jack modification. Check post #194. Thats the mod I had to do for the same jack your showing. WAAAAY to much work. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra 30.00 on the REAL sears jack and do SC longhairs mod!

I'm thinking more along the lines of a lift, but I guess you still need a jack.

Default J&S Jack

I would get the J&S Jack. Easy to use, solid and works perfectly for a Dyna with no adapters.
