Because it's open on one side you can slide it in on the opposite side of the jack and let the bike down on it. It's adjustable (to a degree) also. greyphart   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #255853 stickplayer (User) That's what she said. Fresh Boarder Posts: 18 Re:Jack Stands 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Whu huh? So I go to Sears.com and don't see no red and yellow stuff, but there are some interesting ones for cheap heh. I'm kinda thinking about this one: http://auto.sears.com/MOTORCYCLE-ATV-HYDRAULIC-LIFT/Product.htm?catalogId=10624&N=600026045&productId=2020557 And the better: http://auto.sears.com/OTC-1500-LB-CAPACITY-MOTORCYCLE-LIFT/Product.htm?catalogId=10624&N=600026045&productId=2010671 Both seem workable/useful/reasonable and good deals. Anybody have any of these? Thoughts?   Logged     99 Customized Road Star.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #255864 TVoso (User) God moves mountians. Faith and prayer moves God. Expert Boarder Posts: 532 Re:Jack Stands 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I'm thinking the first one is a tad too tall to slide under at the minimum height (5.5 inches) The second one is alot like the yellow Sears model. . .but cheaper!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1777 Re:Jack Stands 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I hae the red one from Sears. Works just fine. The reason I have it is I bought it from a guy for $35.00, was used once. Couldn't pass it up.   Logged     \\\\\\\" No matter where you go....there you are.\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #255877 Kai_Sayson (User) The Wind is the Spirit... Platinum Boarder Posts: 3789 Re:Jack Stands 2 Years, 3 Months ago   The second one looks like a craftsman...I bought mine from sears for 99.00. Works well. Note to guys that have lowered your Roadies. You need to drive onto a 2" X 6 " both front and rear tire to get the jack underneath.

A few years ago I switched to this kind and like it better for general maint. work. Don't think you could get the wheels off though. But for routine stuff it's alot easier and faster. I don't have this particular one but one kinda like it. Critics of the prices have built this type out of 2 X 6's and a length of pipe and are happy. There's a thread somewhere on the site about this.

If the money is more important then get the Sears Yellow or the Harbor freight.   Logged     Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #256098 Reggie (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 325 Re:Jack Stands 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Darn wrote: If you want the BEST jack, get the J&S Jack.
