Looking for a Jack

[GOSHOXS]

I have the craftsman, and it lifts a Dyna FXDL and a Ultra Classic FLHTC, with no problems, and easily folds and stores.. Good buy!!

I have the Craftsman red jack and it seems to work nicely. However, the bottle jack looses pressure quickly and the lift rests on the safety stop bars. Is this normal? The bottle jack has fluid and doesn't leak, it just looses pressure. When I want to lower the bike I have to pump up the jack to disengage the stop bars.

I have a small one a/c delco from kmart just like craftsman , Also have Handy lift left from a small engine buisness I owned , If you ride and wrench on anything I highly recomend the handylift , also great for lawn equipment my ZTR fits on it and makes blade and oil changes a snap.

My 2 cents: I read good and bad reviews on all jacks. I have a "Goodyear Racing" jack that I bought at Sam's (alleged) Wholesale for about 65 or 70 bucks 3 years ago. If it blew up today, I' buy another cheap one like it. I have an idea they are almost all made alike. Have I used up 2 cents yet?

Check out J&S Jacks at J&S Jacks - Motorcycle Lift, Motorcycle Jack, Wheel Chock, Oil Pan Adapter - USA Made, Wisconsin. Works great and very sturdy. Pitbull is another good jack. You bought an expensive machine. You're actually going to lift it with the cheapest POS you can find?

what if you didn't buy an expensive machine? than can you use the cheapest pos you can find?

i got a pos bike, can't afford a j&s. i'm also in the market. heard mostly good on the crapsman yellow. also mostly good on the otc. it's the mostly that scares me.

anyone got a review on a black widow jack?

looked at the Craftsmen and didnt feel it would be stable enough. Was actually looking at the unit Harley sells this weekend

I picked up this one for my Road King:
- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
I think it was on sale for about $150 when I got it. Works great (so far) and is well built. I know HF sometimes has questionable quality, so I'm keeping a close eye on the hydraulics. The rest is assembled well, so if the cylinder gives out, I'll just get it rebuilt at the local shop.

I have the J&S and have confidence rolling the scooter around the garage with it jacked up. Very sturdy unit. They have a video on their website. I tried the cheaper ones and am happy with this one.
