Just recieved the J&amp\\;S jack. Very sturdy jack, it lift the Road Glide right off the jiffy stand and sits it back down onto the stand. Very stable up in the air. Never had anything else to compare it with. A yellow sears jacks a couple of hundred bucks cheaper but heard there not as sturdy. For the money, $384.00 it's a nice jack.

Thanks everyone. Seems like happy customers with both jacks.I just don't want to put $25k on a flimsy jack. Y'all know what I mean.
Hey Shooter, is that your BAD *** chopper. Freakin' wicked looking.

I'm in the same market, and the appealing thing to me on the J&S Jack is that it has a easy integrated oil drain pan, and I read somewhere that the Pit Bull lifts have some issues with the oil drain plug on the newer models - location of the cross member or something like that.

No regrets with my J&amp\\;S. Fits under my SG just fine. Does the same thing and is as stable as the Pitbull, but less expensive.

The J&amp\\;S is my choice.&nbsp\\; Have two!!&nbsp\\; One with the oil drain pan!!!&nbsp\\; What a great feature.&nbsp\\; You can drain the engine and trans at one time without a mess or crawling under the bike.
&nbsp\\;
You can't go wrong.&nbsp\\; Good quality very stable!!

I have an 07 SG and my JS jack&nbsp\\; fits under the SG with room to spare. The jack is an awsome tool, for maint. and cleaning, very stable and no tie downs.Plus, their cust. service is very good, you actually talk to a human not a answering machine.

Due to the size of my garage, My EGC spends it's down time sitting atop my JS turned sideways across the front of the bay.
Takes me all of about 5 minutes to put the bike on the jack, spin it around, and position it out of the way.
Never a problem and stable as a rock.

ORIGINAL: chopperz71

I have a SG and a J&amp\\;S. The jack is awesome. I would buy the same one again. I have never owned or used the Pit Bull.
Same here! Love it!

I have the JS, great piece of equipment.&nbsp\\; I love the oil pan, keeps the mess down.&nbsp\\; I use my RK Custom almost everyday and I keep it on the JS everyday out of the way in the garage.
