Default Boughta J&S Jack - Awesome!

http://www.jsjacks.com/products/motorcycle-lifts

I don't usually get too excited about products I buy. Kind of expect them to perform as advertised. But this J&S Jack is really cool. Came mostly assembled. Took about 30 mins to put the rest together. Well made - in the USA too. Thing easily lifted my Ultra Classic EG 18 inches off the ground for winter storage. Easily rolls on the rotating wheels. Very stable. Great product! Kind of pricy at just over $400 inc. shipping, but I think well worth it.

Buddy of mine bought a J&S and got it in last week. It is a great lift. I changed my fluids and even started the bike up - I admit I was nervous about that, but no problems what so ever. I will buy either the J&S or the pitbull when it comes time.

I am looking to buy a jack myself. This looks like what I need.

The J&S Jack is truly a very well made American design and build!

The first time I lifted the bike... honestly, I was a bit 'worried' to say the least. I said to myself, 'the bike is at an angle and you want to lift eight hundred pounds, WTF?'

It does what it's designed for and has made maintenance and routine work... very easy and straight forward.

I've owned my J&S for 6 years and love it. I've used it on Dynas, Softails, and Touring bikes and it handles them all well.

New J&S owner here as well. Great product. It's a bit scary the first time you let it down and the motorcycle "falls" onto the kickstand, but you get over it.

Cool J & s jack

Had my J&S for several months and a pleasure to use. But, the jack has started to leak fluid. I suspect when the lift was always holding up the bike, the two braces were in place and pressure was off the jack but the pressure relief valve was closed and the storage building would get to 110 degrees a lot. When not in service, I had the valve closed. Seems to me the valve should be open even tho the braces bear all the weight. Several days @110 temp. may create pressure. I have talked to J&S a couple of times before the jack problem and I feel sure they will help me when I get around to contacting them. Product and customer service are outstanding.

The extra lift height from the Pitbull is well worth it so even though the J&S is a great jack I opted for the Pitbull. Very happy with it.

Great jack, from people who are absolutely committed to the best Customer Service.

Lifts my Softail and RG easily, incredibly stable and safe. Had a minor leak, but only once so it was most likely my fault rather than the jack. Filled it back up with jack oil from the auto parts store and no problem since

I read on the forum some time ago that they sent out a new bottle jack to a member, no questions asked.

If American companies provided this kind of service across the board, we'd be in a far better place...
