How about a link to the thread?!?

 

It's a lot easier for me to list the things I haven't messed with than what I have while the bike was on my J&S.
Engine cases and triple trees.
Everything else has been taken off the bike at one time or another.
Thinking about doing a stroker this winter so I guess I will just be down to trees by spring.


FWIW I never had to put a strap on the bike at any time.

 

IMO whether or not you have a cheap or an expensive jack I believe once you get a Redline Dolly the only thing you'll use the jack for is to get the bike high enough to get the Redline Dolly under the bike.

Here's the link to my review:

I am not sure what the Redline dolly adds to what you are already getting with the J&S Jack.

Really been enjoying my J&S Jack. In less than a minute I can have my Fatboy up on the jack and ready to be worked on.

 

First off I'm not against owning a J&S jack.
There's little doubt they are the best.

However not everyone whats to or can spend $450+ for a jack.

What the Redline dolly does that the J&S jack doesn't is it opens up the underside of the bike so that you have no obstructions when the bike is elevated..
Now is that a big deal? Perhaps not to some.

The Redline dolly does IMO do what the J&S jack does the best and that is provide stability when the bike is elevated.
It just does it for a hell of a lot cheaper.

So along with an $80 Harbor Freight jack plus the $100 Redline dolly a person can have the stability of the J&S jack and have clear access to the underside of the bike.

Again I'm not against J&S jacks I just think for the money the Redline dolly provides a better option for moving around the bike and doing so with maximum stability not to mention doing it for $300 less (including the cost of a cheap jack).

 

Do you know if that dolly will fit around a J&S?

 

The J&S jack might be too wide.
I believe the width is where the stability is.

According to the Redline spec:
"Adjustable width from 18.25" to 25.25" wide"
I think that's outside to outside.

I measured the pads at 2.25" so at 25.25 outside to outside, the maximum inside spread width would be 20.75.

For those with the J&S jack already I'm not sure it would worth the $100 to add the Redline dolly to the garage.
However for those with a cheaper jack or those looking for a new setup the Redline dolly is a cheaper option than the J&S jack but IMO provides equal stability.

 

Thank you for the explanation, Bluraven. I wasn't clear on your point; now I am.

 

It is an inexpensive alternative to freeing up a jack if one where to be working on multiple bikes.
Good review. Thanks

 

Just received my J&S jack. In particualr the Trike Jack (My wife has a Freewheeler) and the adapter for my Street Glide and Fatboy.

Solid built well made item but....

The handle for lowering the bike is real tight against the bottle jack. i have big hands and it's hard to get a hold of the device especially when you don't want it dropping like a brick!

Anyone else having this problem and if so do you have a solution for this issue.

I will rig something up to get a better grip just wondering if anyone else has conquered this problem already!
