Some can look rich while being thrifty Scored a JS for a hundred on CL. This other jack is very good, stable, and got it for $35 on cl. Sold for $75 when the JS was home. The JS is superior though and not all are created equal.

I had a lift table for about 5 years. It was rated for 1500lbs, had side panels to make it 4 feet wide, and had an extension for long choppers. Never had any problems with it. The only reason I sold to a buddy was because it took up too much real estate in the garage. I was always walking around it, and ended up storing bicycles on top of it. I bought a J&S and have no regrets. Last week I changed my head pipe and actually thought it was easier than when I did the same job on the lift table, just because there was more room to work closer to the bike.

Default Pitbull

I purchased my Pitbull jack at Lone Star Ralley a few years ago. Saved money on not having to have it shipped and got a great deal from Pitbull at the rally. Why spend so much money on a Harely and cheap out on a jack. I like to buy a good quality products. I wouldn't take a chance on a cheaper product.

I also have a pittbull got it in June. I think it's a great jack. The J&S I also great . You can get a cheaper made jack but it's your decisions weather to put your baby up on one .

I have a hydraulic scissor type lift that most of us have/use. When I had my RoadKing Classic it would teeter-totter easily but never fell, just no confident in lifting the Ultra Classic with it so I ordered up this: http://thevlift.com/ to try.

That looks interesting. Simple, lite, easy to store. But does it lift high enough?
