Been fielding questions via PM about my saddlebag stand.  Was discussed here a ways back, but if you go to http://www.bagrrest.com/ you'll find it and be able to purchase one for yourself.  When I bought mine, he was offering a 10% discount to CVO Harley members.

I'm sure someone has the time and knows how to pull up the old BagrRest thread.

Several different products mentioned in a thread with the surprisingly accurate title of "Saddlebag Stands."

Getting a J&S as a Christmas present.  Might as well drop the hint about the saddlebag stand.  Ho Ho Ho!

Be careful with the Sears lift. I bought 1 last year and then began reading others comments. Went out to the garage, lifted the bike and wasn't too secure with the movement, so I took it back and bought a J&S. It's great.

The sears lift does flex if you push the front or read of the bike up/down.  I would not use it if you plan to do heavy work on the bike.

I use mine for light stuff, working inside the fairing, washing, other stuff that doesn't require a lot of muscle or torque.  It's fine for that.

You are going to score HUGE for Christmas.  Congratulations.  You'll love the equipment.

I did the same same thing with my cheapo Walmart jack.  Then...........the bike was stuck on it after the TWR install, since the bottle jack broke.  Immediately bought a J&S.  The old Walmart jack is somewhere on the bottom of Guntersville Lake.

J&S is the way to go.  The Sears is too flimsy with the bike in the air.  I tried to use the provided straps and never got it worked out to my satisfaction.  I've actually sat on the bike while my wife moved the J&S jack around the garage just to prove to myself it was stable in the air.  Some things you just have to pay the money for.

You got that right.  Haven't tried your experiment yet, but as easy as the bike is to move on the J&S, I'm confident all 107 pounds of Renea could move the jack, the bike and me as an assembly wherever she wanted within the garage.
Good stuff has a price.

SPYDGLIDE:  You're right.  That picture of me getting a free ride would have been pretty cool to share.  But the moment is lost in time and is now only a figment of my imagination.  Oh Well.

There's never a camera around when you need one.

Looked at the J and S video - why buy anything else?

I know, them and the Pitbulls do look great - the only problem is getting them to the UK for me. J&S email address doesn't seem to work for me and Pitbull haven't yet quoted for delivery - but can you imagine 130kg in a box to the UK.

Anybody, anywhere used an ABBA Super Lift - seems the highest quality one I can find in the UK?

It's been so long now, Jon, I've forgotten the shipping charge.  I think it was free.......but what surprised me was it came via UPS.  I know that thing weighs more than 70 lbs.  Anyway, I could try to contact them for you and see how much it would cost to get one of their jacks across the pond.  I think it would be worth the price.  They're mighty nice.  Anyway, let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

Yes please, try and find out for me.

Have a Great Christmas
