J&S

Look at their web site. Quality for a fair price.

+1 on J&S. A great product. It holds your bike steady as a rock without needing any tie-down straps. I stored my FXDL on it over the Winter and was able to move it around my garage as needed without any difficulty.

They also have super customer support.

Made in the USA, a J&S jack is well worth the extra money over the cost of Sears, Harbor Freight or other jacks made in China. Many people like these jacks but I find the J&S to be a better choice for me and my bike..

Take a look at the video on their website....very impressive.

Sears jack for me. Did the mods from this forum and it works well. I bought the jack before I had the FXDL. Its worked fine on an assortment of bikes including my XR650 that is very high off the ground. So I figure I've gotten my moneys worth out of it.

Bought a J&S myself. Much more expensive than the Sears jack everyone talks about. I figure why trust my $$$ to a sub par jack. The video on the website shows u all you need when it comes to the quality of this. Saves 2 foot of space in the garage as well. The fact i never have to worry about the hydraulic failing and dumping my bike due to its locking mechanisms makes it ideal for winter storage as well. Pretty much doubles as a center stand..and the optional oil pan i bought will make doing my own service a breeze. just my 2 cents.

I have the sears red lift and with the SC mod it works like a champ. Part of me wishes I had the j&s with the drain pan, that is a great feature. Guess I will make my own. When I needed a lift sears was the best I could just go pick up without waiting for shipping.

+1 on the Harbor Freight. I don't have to use tie downs either. Just do the mod and you won't have any problems.
