    I purchased a trailer chock check from them and since they're literally just down the road, I called them and asked if I could purchase an extra set of bolts. They said if I visited them they'd GIVE ME AN EXTRA SET. I've had it for over 10 years and I love it

    One thing I love about my Harley is the number of things for it made in the USA. I've bought about a dozen things aftermarket for it and I'd say all but one were made in the U.S. That's just awesome. And I've also had some of the best customer service experiences while doing so.

    Monk, I have had one for over 10 years. Awesome jack. One tip is lower it until the safety levers jamb in the holes and I have claimed up on my Electra Glide seat with no problems. I am 6'5 and 250 lb. Awesome for cleaning wheels too. I drove up and got it when Fuel Moto was doing my cams. They are only 5 miles apart. Super guy and made right on site in Wisconsin. Oh never a problem in 10 years either. A real workhorse. You will love the oil drain pan all 3 holes drain to one spot.

    Have had a J&S jack for many years. worked great on the Dyna wide glide,Heritage,Ultra,and the 79 lowrider. They also make slick adapters that work great on the same lift for Indian Vintage. You should shoot a quick video on how easily the jack picks up from the kickstand, and when you lower it how it lands softly on the kickstand and you do not have to hold onto anything. They gave it to ya free, give it a better look.

    How does the Kick stand interact with this new lift?

      The rails are slightly behind the kick stand so no problem at all.

    Sorry to necropost but... First of all - good looking jack! I'm currently looking for one and I think u just helped me find it 👍 Please excuse this stupid question - you mentioned positioning the safety catch arms then relieving pressure so that the weight rest on the little arms in the holes. Why? Why wouldn't you just position the arms, IN CASE it bleeds down, and leave the jack under pressure? I'm not suggesting your way is wrong, just the opposite, I wanna know why mine is.

      Hey! I don't think youre wrong at all, its just preference. I feel better that the jack is steel on steel instead of relying on hydraulic pressure. The catch arms could get knocked back and not be there when you need them, etc.

      @ProfessionalMonkey Makes sense. Plus, the more I thought about it, your way puts less wear on the seals containing the pressure 👍

    Have you ever lifted it from right side to do work on left side? Just so lift is out of the way?

    What about bikes that have exhausts protruding below the frame?

    Is that a redline? Just looked up J&S MC jacks online but didn't see one that looks like this one. What model did they send you? I have an Ultraglide Clasic that I have never had the nerve to use the Jack on it that I use on my sportser. I got it pepboys says rated for 1200 lbs but it's shaky with a 650lb bike.

    How is the lowering mechanism? Is it gradual or pretty fast. I have been a ton that lower way too fast. Would love to find one that is gradual and smooth.

    • @ProfessionalMonkey
      @ProfessionalMonkey  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Entirely up to you. If you turn it just a little bit it lowers very slowly.
