I looked at the Pitbull. J&S was cheaper and worked just as well if not better as I found it easier to move around the garage.

There, I said it again.  ;D

Okay, I recommend the Pittbull. I thought that wold have been clear in my last post. ;)
I can put the bike on it and roll it outside, roll it around the garage, change fluids and remove the wheels ll without strapping the bike down. Takes up less space than a table lift. Someday maybe I'll need a table lift but, until that time I'll be happy with my Pittbull.

The major difference between the Pitbull and J & S is that the pitbull lifts the bike 25" & the J & S lifts it 19".  To me, It's not worth the cost difference (about $100 or so).

I'm wondering if that nice oil drain setup on the J&S works on the Pitbull. The extra 7" lift would be nice to have.

Is it true that it is not so stable at the midpoints??? I read where you need to jack it all the way up to get it completely stable.

Yes, it is most stable at the highest point.
No concern starting the bike on the jack and running through all the gears up and down multiple times while servicing.

The only time I tied it down was when I removed the front forks and the swing arm and trans.

and 1 other question...why doesn't anybody suggest the Pitbull...it lifts 7in higher than the J&S?



Using my roll around "scooter chair, the J&S height is perfect, have never needed it to be higher. Any higher and I would want it high enough to stand up and work.
