I got the Handy air table 10 years ago and a K&L flat jack about 5 years ago.

The K&L products are real nice.

I bought the J&S jack and gave away my lift two years ago....In fact, I gave it to a guy on here.

I got 3 HD's and don't miss the lift...go figure

So, I guess my answer is "my center jack for my lift is my J&S jack."

Have a Handy Bike Lift, a Harbor Freight Center Jack, and just installed a Harley center stand. I have to admit I'm disappointed in the center jack so far. I wanted to adjust it so it would lift the rear tire about 1 inch. I find I'm incapable of lifting the bike myself onto the center jack. And I'm 6'2" and 270. I adjusted it back down to just keeping 2 tires on the ground. Once warm weather returns I will toy with it more. Also a little disappointed in the position of the lever arm you have to use to hoist it onto the center stand. I still have the stock exhaust with the cross over pipe on the bike. This level is so close to the cross over that its hard to get your foot on the lever squarely to provide enough force to lift the bike onto the center stand. It doesn't appear that Harley thought this one out very well.

I bought a direct lift and got the blackjack at the same time to avoid extra shipping charges. I haven't used the sissor jack yet, but it is a solid and well built jack.

Nice looking garage, Harry. Is that a Craftsmen 33 gal compressor?

I got a pitbull at the bike show. It's rock solid..! I haven't used the craftsman but with the craftsman name I'm sure it's a quality piece of equipment.
