Motorcycle Jack
Seen several motorcycle jacks out there. Sears, Farm & Fleet, HD, etc. From what I read, alot of em end up with an oil leak from the bottle jack used on them.
Any GOTCHAS I need to be aware of?
Any recommended brands for an HD Fatboy ?

I've got a Harbor Freight one, but I have to lean the bike from side to side to get that sucker under it.

I have a Sears Jack. Works fine, even when lifting my friend's Kawasaki 1600 Nomad, that weighs about 700 lbs.

Role my bike up onto two 1x10s under each wheel, gets it off the ground just enough to slide Harbor Freight under it.

It's just barely wide enough to fit the entire width of the frame on it.
