I did some research and in my opinion, the Pitbull is the one I am going with. I picked up a Duralast 1500lb atv jack in 2008. The jack works, however my 2009 SG wobbles on the jack and I need a jack that is more stable.

Dude... you better contact the administrator. Somebody using a name just like yours posted the same exact thread within minutes of this one. I think he's a troll.

I vote Pit Bull, I've had mine since 2000 and use it every time I wash a bike or do almost any maintnance that doesnt require the bike to be on the kickstand and the jack works as good as the day I bought it. Its not the cheapest jack out there but niether are my motorcycles!

i've got a sears red jack. had it for two years now and haven't had a problem yet. it has had my bike on it for 14 of the 24 months (been in Iraq) and still going strong. the J & S seams to be a touch wider than the sears one, but i have wobbled the fool out of mine and can't even get the coaster wheels to come off the ground. I cant see me climbing on my front fender to test out the theory.... I like my paint job.... without self inflicted scratches. just my $.02

I've had my Pittbull for 6 years. There still isn't a better jack on the market. If you have a $99 bike, get a $99 POS Sears, Harbor Freight, or <fill in the blank China made piece of ****>. You can afford a Harley, you should be able to afford something reliable to trust your bike up on it. It is also nice how high you can get the bike in the air instead of barely off the ground like other makes.
