I am no expert in Bike Jacks but my Sears Craftsman (Red).Has served its purpose with out a hitch.I have used it on my Sporty and Deluxe.My Deluxe was on that jack for like a month straight while I was doing some mods.Think is was like $100.00 on sale.Just be sure to strap the bike down when using any jack.

um, wow. This has never been discussed. Use the search tool in 'General Harley Chat' and there's a ton of this same discussion. You won't have a clear answer cause everyone has their own opinion and budget. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up you could probably find some smokin' deals out there.

Except the J&S jack. Again, costs more, worth it.

Yes, do a search on here and also visit the websites. From what I have been able to ascertain, the J & S jack is the second best jack of this type that money can buy. However, below is the KING, and is also on sale for $419 for the next few days:

Had one from cotsco and it did what is was to do but I have seen and know a guy that has the lift table type from Harbor freight and likes it and it WORKS good for the money. I am not recommending the Harbor Freight but from seeing his work and so on I would not feel bad getting one for personal and NOT professional use. Don't have more that that for you----sorry. Just my 2 cents.

I would rather use a couple straps for 10.00 .And save 300.00 .If I was going to use it everyday or owned a shop I would spend the extra for the J&S.But for occasional personal use I could'nt justify spending that much on a Jack.Just not worth it IMO.

No discount on the J&S. I don't sell them for this reason.
