I have a J&S, it is a great jack, I've used it for tire changes, and engine work. The only thing I don't like is I have to remove my WheelDock center stand to use it. I wish there was a jack I could use without having to remove the stand just for cleaning purposes.

I originally bought a jack from Harbor Freight, the yellow one. It was to wobbly for my level of comfort. So I returned it.


I bought the J&S jack on sale, last Memorial Day. Yes, they are pricey but I always bought a pricey bike. They're built solid and I don't worry about the jack giving in due to the weight of my bike.

I guess I have had my J & S longer than I realized because I thought I paid $295.00 for it???

It works perfect and I have full confidence in it. I do strap the bike on when I am going up high, but low just to spin the wheels it is rock solid.

You get what you pay for.

Call them if any sales coming up, like Veterans Day. Plus some discount if you are a Vet.

If I remember correctly, you told me to call them to see if any sales are coming up. It was the Memorial day sale.

J&S Jack owner here....completely satisfied with it.

Had my RGU suspended in the air for 3 weeks cause I had the wheels off for a project and got called away for a overseas work trip. Gotta admit, little nervous as I headed out the door for the airport, but all good and stayed rock solid.

You will forget the cost of the jack after the first use.

I have the Craftsman's Yellow Motorcycle Aluminum jack and Black Widow Scissor jack. They both work well for my needs

Pitbull is NOT out of business. They are under new ownership since January 2016. I spoke with one of the owners today. There are two partners that are both neighbors of the original family.

They have slightly modified the design so that one jack will lift all H-D's, there used to be a separate model for Dynas. The website is in the process of being redesigned as well.
