The J&S is the only jack I've used that didn't make my butt pucker when I put my Ultra up on it. It also works on Dynas without adapters.

Ended up tapping out frame holes to next size up and new bolts. Just holds it from sliding around on floor when working.
As for feeling good when on the lift. 18 years and no straps. Rotated on table top you have to watch the rear tire as it swings around. Doesn't hit anything when lifted to top position and Jack moved around easy in either position. But I just like to keep an eye on it. I recommend the pitbull but have never seen the other in person so do t know how they compare.

Good decision...

So I used my J&S today to do my Primary, Trans, and Crank Case oil changes for the season in my garage.  The piston on the jack seemed to have failed, although it may be partly my fault.  Not sure if it had enough hydraulic fluid in it.  Was a bitch to get it back down.  900 lbs comes down in a hurry if you don't do it right.  We figured it out but man that was a butt puckering moment!  Just ordered a replacement bottle jack from J&S.  Not taking any chances.   Glad all fluids are done along with spark plugs and K&N air filter element.  Maybe a bit excessive as it only has 4500 miles on her and I did the first service at 1000 at the dealer.  Not paying $350 plus tax to have someone else over tighten my plugs.  Felt great to do it myself...   :apple: :pineapple: :pepper:

So I ordered my replacement bottle jack from J&S today and apparently, it's failure was not related me at all.  J&S said they have been dealing with many issues like mine and have switched to a different bottle jack.   The regular bottle jack costs about $41 plus shipping but if you have the air/hydraulic version, that bottle jack is $130.  They don't manufacture their own so that sucks...

If you have a J&S jack, you may want to contact them and give them your serial # to see if yours may be a potentially affected unit.  You won't notice the problem raising the bike, bringing it down is where I had my issues....
