Looking for a Jack

Have a 2006 Road King Classic, been searching for a jack. Have narrowed it down to 2.

The Craftsman Professional/Yellow aluminum
The Larin MAL-2

Both are in the same price range and would like to hear from owners of both.

I like the J&S and Pit Bull, I just can't come up with the $350/$450.

whats the difference between the cost of the 2? I have a street glide and need to stand my bike up to get a jack under it.

Craftsman yellow jack works great for me. Well built. If any jack is to low, roll your scooter up on a couple squares of plywood. That should get the frame high enough to get the jack under

I've been using the Craftsman Red lift for 6 years now. Found it on sale at Sears for $50. It does a great job lifting my Road King Classic.

Are these jacks suitable for general work, i.e. replacing exhaust? I've been looking at the "table" types but if this style lift is safe and adequate it sure takes up a lot less floor space.
