Ok, looking for a bike jack to lift up the bike so that the wheels are free. I want to be able to rotate them, clean wheels, etc. Is there a way to shop for a jack so I know it will work on my bike ? Thanks

 

most all of them will work for you anything for softail lifts the bike safely get a quality one, might cost a little more, but worth the peace of mind

 

Everything I have read here points to J&S but they are pricey. Lots of folks swear by the less expensive model from Horror Freight. My opinion is saving$ 200 on a jack is meaningless if your bike falls and there is$ 2000 in damage....go for quality.

 

I have a pitbull, really like it. Very stable. pitbullmotorcyclelifts.com

 

I picked up an aluminum lift from Sears. It is lighter than the steel version, but still weighs quite a bit. Works great, but ran almost $200.

Don't waste your money on a craftsman. I have 2 craftsman jacks that don't work. 1 bike lift and 1 car lift. Both are less than 4 yrs old. Garbage

 

If its for simply cleaning the wheels, why not consider buying a wheel spinner? Means you wont have to worry about the bike dropping off a lift.

J&S. Makes doing you own maintenance/detailing on your bike so much easier.
Space tight in the garage? Raise the bike and roll it over against the wall.
