I am looking into getting a lift/jack to make working on my bike easier and more enjoyable. I have looked at everything from $79.00 specials to $1,200.00 units that might perhaps even do the work themselves. Reliability and stability are pretty much the most important feature to me.

I would like to hear any input from folks who have bought and wished they hadn't, bought and loved what they got...in other words, I would love to learn from your mistakes!

I will be lifting a 2003 FLHTCI Electra Glide Classic.

Please let me know what you have experienced in this arena!

 

J&S. Love it. It has paid for itself in just home fluid changes. Rock solid. I've had it for 11 years and zero issues. Newer ones have improvements such as air instead of a bottle jack.

 

Those do look nice. Is it as steady as everyone makes it sound?

 

Bought a J&S and never looked back. Did everything I ever needed it to do. Had a Sears yellow jack that broke with my Heritage stuck up in the air.

 

+1 on the J&S unit. Never a problem and steady as a rock!

 

Oh good, another jack thread

OK, The comment on another jack thread....I guess my search skills suck as I tried to search the forum for a jack/lift thread figuring I'm not the first person that would have wanted help with that. But I didn't find one. So I guess maybe I should have started a "how to search for things" thread instead!

 

I bought the J&S when I needed the summer to rebuild the wreck 2014. Use it once a year or so now to service the same bike and every time I appreciate the stability it affords. (The left rail fits right inside the cross member running under your tranny on the '03 which puts the bike at the perfect balance point too.)

 

Another happy J&S owner
