I don’t know about the other two (please enlighten me if you do), but the Let's Roll is made right here in the USA. I want to support American workers and American companies that don’t choose profit over all. Let's Roll is an excellent product, and buying one is good for you and for our country.
Robert, I’m so happy that you covered the very bad customer service at J&S. I tried to contact them several times for more information on their jack. I couldn’t get through on the phone, they don’t return calls or emails. My dad always said, never beg a company to spend your money on them. Because if it’s hard to spend your money with them, after the purchase, what do you get, nothing! J&S got the big head, and I think they are over rated due to their very poor customer service. After hearing what you had to say, and my own experience with them. I hate to say it Robert, I wouldn’t buy a jack from J&S with your money! Take care and keep doing what you are doing brother, I love it!
MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ORDER AN ADDITIONAL ITEM IT TURNED OUT TO BE A NIGHTMARE. MY BANK GOT ME A CREDIT FOR THE PURCHASE AFTER ALMOST 6 MONTHS OF HELL. IT SEEMS THE COMPANY WENT DEAD SHORTLY AFTER COVID.
Received my Let’s Roll lift two weeks ago for my 2022 Harley-Davidson Street Bob and I absolutely love it. Once you know where to place the lift and mark the place if need be the process is very quick. I can pull in our two car garage after a ride, put in on the lift and push my bike against the wall turned around facing out for my next ride. Will be the perfect way to store my bike as the Michigan winters are on there way.
Hi Jeff, I work with Let's Roll, and I'm so glad to hear that you're loving the lift & dolly system! You are right: it's the ideal way to store your bike for the winter in cold climates.
@Kimrah7 Is just the outer part with the castors available for sale without the lift part? Last thing my cluttered garage needs is another motorcycle lift.
I’ve had the J&S Jack for 7 years. I’ve gone through two bottles jacks. Eventually they fail and you don’t want your bike on the lift when they fail. That’s one of the reasons I recently purchased the let’s roll jack. Namely, less components that could fail and I think it will lead to better reliability over the J&S.
@@letsrollstorethe best $600 bucks I've spend I don't have to worry about my bike falling is so or seesawing side to side I've been able to change my fenders front and back put my dirty air fast up and down install on my bike change my rear and front rim and tire plus the belt with my let's roll Jack This is basically the car lift for motorcycles great product very very great product no I'm not a sponsor no they're not paying me for no advertisement I'm just being honest My bike is a little over a thousand pounds considering everything that I have on it and this lift holds it like a champ
Because: the bottle jack is rated 1500#, meaning 1500# lift straight up. it is too small based on the mechanical positioning of the fulcrum and lift point. Your 900# bike is more like 3000#. Buy a bigger bottle jack and it will last forever.😊
You're spot on with the Let's Roll. The dolly is great for storage or moving easily in a small space. The scissor jack lift is passable but not as nice as a hydraulic that does more of the work for you. I lift mine with a cordless Dewalt 20v XR and it works great, almost too well if you're not careful. The drill has multiple torque settings. The first time I tried it I had the torque set too high and it about ripped my hand off. I have some arthritis in my hands. After adjusting the settings, I have it working well. It can lift a street glide easily and quickly. I pulse it for control. I could maybe reduce the torque a little more for a smoother lift. You do have to squat down or get on your knees to operate the scissor jack. NOTE: instructions say not to use an impact wrench on the lift.
I have the Let's Roll lift and dolly and absolutely love it! You are right about the customer service at J & S Jacks. I had to call/email them several times just to get someone on the phone so I could order it with the veterans discount. That was enough for me to abandon buying it as I am big on customer service also. If I can't get them on the phone to purchase it, I can imagine what customer service would be like if I were to order it. I am considering purchasing the OTC jack also.
I have a J&S jack with handle and drain pan option purchased 4 years ago. I roll one of my two bikes onto driveway then jack the bike up to easily wash, including tires. I always release pressure onto safeties even if only to wash the bike. I could leave it that way all winter if needed. The mistake a lot of people make is leaving pressure on the bottle then complain their jack fails! Duh! That being said, my only con for J&S is crouching down for the pressure wheel which also bothers me about the LET, S ROLL. It kind of defeats the purpose of a jack having to get down on the floor to use. Also, J&S has raised their prices big time and customer service could be better.
Robert, as usual all your videos are good and informative. I have been looking at the Let's Roll, because I need a way to move my bike around in my garage. Being able to clean the tires and wheels is a plus. I did not know about the other 2 you showed. I am glad I found this video. Bottom line, I am ordering the Let's Roll this week. Keep the video's Rolling as well.
Recently purchased a Let’s Roll jack. Price gave me pause but I bit the bullet and glad that I did. Cleaning bike is much easier, checking & changing oil easier, even checking pressure in tires is a snap. Of course I get grease all over me 😂 but I’ll live and do recommend purchasing the Let’s Roll jack.
good honest comparison, OTC is a brand I've known from the automotive world for a longtime and trust. I agree that little handle mount they came up with is a weak link but I only use it to move the jack when the bike isn't on it, if I need to move the bike with it I strap it and just push on the bike itself and it rolls fine. The steel wheels are a big plus when you store your bike for a couple months during the winter, the softer plastic wheels will flat spot and those spots will catch when trying to roll later.
Yes, Let's Roll will get back to the customer real fast. After describing my bike and clearance issues, Michael over there told me that there's not enough clearance to get the jack under the bike. Now, he didn't suggest that it might work if leaned off the kickstand and held it upright while you slide the jack under with your foot or have someone else do it and I appreciate that as they recognize a product should work out of the box as advertised. It may but that's for the consumer to decide.
Appreciate your honest review and pointing out the good and bad of these motorcycle jacks. Just starting my hunt for a jack that I’m going to feel comfortable with.
It’s my pleasure. 😊 Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RU-vid channel!👍🏾😊 ru-vid.com I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile!
I purchased the Let'a Roll Dolly and Lift and love it. It's simple to set my HD Dyna on and so strong and stable. Thank you for your video, it was very informative. Let's Roll!!
Hi Robert, I had the same problem with J&$, it took 6 months to get my jack. I called emailed and finally tracked down one of the owners on FB and messaged him on his personal FB to get a response. The WORST customer service i have ever experienced. I'm satisfied with the jack but the negatives you talked about are all true.
Thank you for the awesome video. I ordered the Let’s Roll Lift & Dolly last week and it’s shipping next week. After watching your reviews I am now more excited that I made the correct decision. Living in MN my Street Glide will be stored in the back of my garage and no more trying to maneuver it manually as close to the wall that I can. Plus now I will be able to move it whenever I need during the winter. Once again thank you for another great video!
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle Received my Let's Roll lift and dolly today at noon. I absolutely love it and thanks again for a great video. Winter is on the way here in Minnesota and my motorcycle is now gliding across the floor in my garage to be stored for winter when the snow comes. I can easily get it out and off of the dolly just in case we get some warm weather before the snow!
@@P8R1OT_BAGRR Hi DK, I work with Let's Roll and we always love to hear from happy customers. We're glad to hear that you love the Let's Roll system -- it's perfect for winter storage in Minnesota and other cold climates.
My OTC had the ball bearings falling out of big wheel when I took it out of box. Called OTC and their customer service was awesome. I had a cheap Harbor Freight before and the difference in night and day. Thanks for your informative videos. I recommend them to my students.
I’ve had my OTC Stinger for over 5 yrs and I’ve never had it fail. I’m a former auto collision repair tech, now retired. I used OTC hydraulic pumps on many different frame machines and as with anything over time they would start to fail. What I liked about OTC is they always had the parts to repair them. This was the main reason I bought the lift. Yes it’s a bit long, and yes if there is anything bigger than a Sportster on it will not roll. But it is well made and not overly expensive. It lifts my Heritage Softail without issue. Enough said.
The Let’s Roll all the way. It’s the best!!!! I like better than any other is because I can store my bike on it when I’m not riding it !!!! It’s a great storage space dolly !!!!
I have the Let's Roll lift and dolly, and it's SUPER solid. My only gripe with it, like you said, is the manual scissor lift. It's workable, but I wish they have a hydraulic lift option. Or I wish a hydraulic option existed out there that was 12-13 inches that I could substitute the scissor lift for. Nice video though!
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RU-vid channel!👍🏾😊 ru-vid.com I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile!
I agree. And having a Battery Powered option would also generate sales for the company over the life of the lift as Li-Ion Batteries do go bad, but, they also last a long time as well. Who the hell wants a hand pump hydraulic one ?? NOT ME..... My Heavy Duty Torque Wrench cranks that screw without hesitation fully to the top.....but I stop before the end point to prevent damage. Just wanna get the bikd on the portable lift stand.. It is just one of the BEST out there. I also use it on my table lift.
I like the let’s roll, I would fashion a impact universal swivel with long extension and my Milwaukee 1/2” 2 speed electric drill, then I could stand up and hold onto my bike as I raise it, .
I have the OTC. Best bang for the buck. You have to clean and lubricate the wheels and casters in order to put less stress on the handle & hardware if you want to push around a 900 pound bike.
Thanks for the awesome review. I'm definitely rolling with the Let's roll and possibly an OTC. I feel you on customer service. Corbin is one of the worst. Unless I can find someone to modify this seat, I'm out almost $700. Also, thanks for serving as law enforcement.
I have a J&S jack and had problems right out of the box with the pump not letting the jack down. Customer service was nil (they are out of business now). Once I adjusted the pressure relief valve, it worked fine after six years. That was on my Indian Springfield. Looking at the" Let's Roll," I see a problem. Instead of two jack points on a bike, you need four: two to raise with the scissor jack and two to rest on the dolly. The Indian needs adapters to prevent crushing the fine oil lines in the way. On my Triumph Speed Twin, I can barely find two places that won't crush something. The engine hangs below the frame and is not an approved jack point per the owner's manual, so this jack overcomplicates jacking for me. Based on what's available now, I'd lean towards the OTC that I can block up once to fit my bike. But even that is too much of a pain for me with my Triumph, which I now put on front and rear paddock stands. The world needs the Holy Grail of bike jacks, an adjustable jack with arms that can accommodate various bikes, or bike manufacturers would have to collaborate on common lift points, but that's just wishful thinking.
Love my J&S, I replaced the bottle jack with a hydraulic pneumatic jack from Harbour freight. Just plug into the air line and up it goes. It did take some welding to get it to work but its the best.
Bandit did a video on this jack.When he released it the lever on the side jumped the stop indent. I noticed he didn't have the bar back. He had it forward but when he brought it down fully he pushed the bar back. I think by not pulling the bar back n n hitting the pedal to briit down the jack jumped the detent but didn't drop the bike down. It was still safe.
I have the aluminum harbor freight motorcycle jack.. It's great. I would LOVE the let's roll kit but it seems extremely pricey for what it is to be honest. That's what has kept me from purchasing it thus far.
Great comparison. I'm considering the Let's Roll. I'm more of a weekend warrior - just oil changes, cleaning and rolling the bike into various position in the garage.
Im waiting for Christmas for the let’s roll. I have a harbor freight aluminum Jack at the moment. I like the otc for working on the bike. Let’s roll I’m getting for the same reason you mentioned. Easier storage. Thank you for the video. Great explanation and detailed.

I have the Craftsman motorcycle jack which is very similar to the OTC and love it but about 20 years ago I bought a Torrin jack at Sam's club which was an unstable POS and didn't take much to make it fall on to the back tire once lifted but the Craftsman for under a $100 bucks at the time worked and still works great I have no problem lifting my dresser or my son's sportster i did two sets of tires and neck bearings on it without a hitch I look at the J&S jacks back when they were about $389 or so now they are double and I see by some of the comments their customer service hasn't changed over the years but the price has lol
I own a j and s jack. I like it but have same problem, cannot get a hold of the company. My bottle jack started to leak, could not get a hold of them to replace it, so had to take it to a local shop to repair it. I think the company is out of business. I am Looking at another lift and like the let’s roll dolly, but don’t like how to raise/lower it and the height the dolly goes. The j and s jack goes much higher for easier cleaning.. I liked your review and helped me compare the 2 jacks. Thanks

I have the lets roll. It is a bit finicky for my '18 Roadmaster, but I have it for its intended use. It makes it a lot easier to check air pressure and fill the tires and change oil, but it has a limited lift height and took a bit for me to place it correctly with the additional Indian plate. BUT, i need to move it against a back wall to park my car and this is a game changer. It's the reason I have it and highly recommend it for this type of use.
I'm glad you mentioned oil changes. I'm looking for something mainly to change my oil. question for you: do you have the lets roll dolly AND lift? Does the lift get in the way of the engine oil drain plug? Thanks for the help.
@20:50 “I think the majority of riders need both” Awesome! I can’t wait to tell the wife 😂 Sorry to hear direction of J&S. I’ve had mine for the better part of 15 years. One bottle failure many years ago. Owner’s son answered the phone on second ring, and I had replacement within a week; it’s made in China. Can’t refute anything you said about it. Very solid platform, but herky jerky lowering, as with most bottle jacks is not fun. Never rely on bottle jack to hold bike up. Release pressure, and let those hefty latches bear the load. Not sure if any bottle jack will fit. Might have to drill base plate for bolt holes to align. Good honest review. Thanks👍

I’ve had a jack that looks like your OTC for 15-20 years. The name is Goodyear Racing and I think I got it at Sam’s Club-but it was a really long time ago. Operation is exactly the same, even to breaking the handle. I finally got around to welding it back on last year, but the jack is usable without the handle. One difference is I can roll my Road Glide Ultra around easily-so I guess mine came with better wheels. I don’t find the “fixed” wheels at one end a problem, the bike rotates easily around the center of that end of the jack. Although it has tie-downs, I don’t find them necessary for maneuvering around the garage, it’s very stable. I don’t leave it on the jack, though. I pull straight in and park on the stand, slide the jack under, lift it with the foot pedal, swing it 180 to park it out of the way if my wife’s car, and set it back on its kickstand. Takes a minute, 90 seconds max. The jack has its own spot out of the way. Good review video, thanks!
Good to know that now when I'm ready to purchase one I'll be knowing which one will be fit for my bike I appreciate you for all your info and the tips giving us.💯 L.T.
PS I would get with a pallet Jack manufacture to build a miniature design. You can easily lift a few tons with ease to a height you probably would not want to go. Make the forks shorter an the width appropriate for HD frames.
I bought the let’s roll dolly and tried it out on my softail slim and absolutely loved it. The front half of my garage floor has a drain in the center so it has a slight pitch towards the drain however, rolling on the flat half or the sloped portion made no difference at all, it still moves buttery smooth. Great product backed by excellent customer service and worth every penny. I’m also kicking around a couple of ideas for an extension that would allow you to raise the bike up while standing instead of kneeling and ratcheting. Another big pro to this is that when you’re done with one or both pieces you can simply hang them on the wall.
Thanks Robert. I just subscribed. I was planning on getting the J&S for $1,200 after your review a while back but I read so much about their terrible customer service that I bought the aluminum Harbor Freight one for $250 instead. Well, I guess you get what you pay for. The HF one does not feel very stable to me so I only lift one wheel at a time on my 2020 Road Glide Limited - just to clean them. I did lift it Bout a foot a few times. Once, I accidentally turned the handle a hair too far to lower it. It’s so sensitive. The bike dropped like a rock until the safety latch clicked into the next stop. Saved my 900 lb. bike from falling over but the latch bent and cannot be replaced. I was able to straighten it but don’t have much faith in it anymore. The Let’s Roll website says it’s not compatible with my other bike - a 2015 Goldwing. I guess I’ll stick with what I’ve got for now but I truly appreciate your review. If I do make a change, it’ll be to the Let’s Roll combo for the Harley.
Thank you for watching and subscribing to my RU-vid channel!👍🏾😁 I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile! Keep in mind the Let’s Roll Dolly won’t lift your bike more than a few inches.
Just got the lift portion of the Let’s Roll. Still waiting for the dolly portion. Just had shoulder surgery last Friday so gonna be a while before I use it but I got it for maneuverability in garage and it’s simplicity.
thank you robert for an interesting video, i read all the comments hoping to see one for IRON HORSE LIFT/DOLLY, and someone who has a harley breakout.....i have a breakout which i bought from a friend, with a lot of custom and high performance mods, and i also need to turn my bike around, its too dangerous to back out, and too narrow to turn around without a huge hassle. after looking at all available systems, i knew the long narrow rail models would never work with my 260 tire so it was between the iron horse and lets roll......i chose iron horse, and one think i have read constantly in this forum is customer service......well, iron horse has gone over and above for me. it's a beautifully made system, this guy jesse is waiting on a patent on its design......the problem was getting it under the frame rails, the breakout is different, and he made me another rail system and is sending it free of charge.......i just found out tonight why all the other lifts wont go under, my mechanic thinks my front end is lowered and everyone else needs 4 inches or more.......i can get the iron horse under, but it misses the rear part of the frame rail due to keeping it away from the kickstand. he has videos of it working on his bikes flawlessly.......you should check it out and do a trial on it, i know you will love it, and jesse has gone way out of his way trying to make it work, even making another wider rail for me to try.......i should get it friday. he also said if i can't get it to work as intended or am not satisfied, return it all and he even will pay for the postage. check out the videos on you tube.

I purchased a Black Widow jack. I can’t justify the price of Let’s Roll for no more than what I would use it for. I have a 2 bay garage, each bay is 20’x35’. I could probably make a 18’ U-turn in here when it’s completely empty!
Robert love all your videos. Been watch your jack reviews. I see a very interesting video on Iron Horse Jack's. Like to see if you can get them for you to review their jack. I'm interested on the Let's Roll . I have a bad back when it comes to maintenance and cleaning my bike. Hope you reach out to them and show how you feel about their product. Because your honest about each product and I can trust your opinion on each items.
If working on bike J@S. If storage is only concern lets roll. J@S customer service leaves a lot to be desired. With that said the jack itself is great. Personally I havent had a problem with the bottle jack but have since switched to a air jack Makes life easier. Jack is super stable ,lift height is a bonus and it moves with ease. I have the oil pan as well and makes 3 hole change a piece of cake. I have both and prefer the J@S for my needs.
Thank you, I was considering the J and S but you are right. Customer service is huge. With out it, it makes me wonder if is Chinese with a USA label slapped on it.
I have a otc and a js I agree with what you said customer service is awful they charge for attachments and still have not received them from js. The otc is not bad for the money but I do prefer the js it is more stable just a shame they can’t get customer service figured out. Awesome video as always LT !
Well detailed video. I still would go with the J&S maybe because i never had a frustrating issue with it but its easy to lift, easy to maneuver, it can lift at multiple heights, its strong & sturdy, easy to repair and safe. I like when the bike is at the correct height position the locking levers take all weight off of the hydraulic jack. Its a one piece system (They also sell a dolly for it like the lets roll system) that is also strong. You can start the bike and sit on the bike while on the J&S and it wont move. I can work underneath the bike with confidence. I like the lets roll but you either have to crank it with a ratchet or impact drill and how does the lets roll get repaired if it won't lift, can it come down if the crank gets stuck or breaks with a bike on it? I like the lets roll as a dolly but refuse doing a two step long process with tools while on my knees just to move my bike around. The J&S serves as a dolly & repair (limited) lift and is safe and easy to use and repair.
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RU-vid channel!👍🏾😊 ru-vid.com I agree with everything you said. J&S is out of business and being sued by multiple people so buying a dolly from them isn’t going to happen. 👍🏾
Hi Robert, I have a Let’s Roll I love it. I have a Indian Springfield so I had to get the adapter. Customer service is very good too. Love your video’s, I’ve learned so much just from watching. Hope you come to Ohio soon! Thanks Tom

I bought a J&S Jack and had it less than six months and the bottle jack leaked with my Road King in the air. I was able to put enough oil in the bottle jack to get the jack off of the safeties and lower the bike back down. Contacted J&S and they said that I should get the newer/larger bottle jack that doesn't leak. Tried to order a new larger bottle jack, but J&S never responded. Bought a Let's Roll lift and dolly a year and a half ago, and it has been great. It rolls the bike around the garage much easier than the J&S and I never have to worry about my bike being stuck up in the air on the safeties. After winter storage last year (Nov 21 to Apr 22) the Let's Roll was easy to get the bike out from the back of the garage, clean it, and prep it for riding. I tried to sell my J&S for $50.00 on Craigslist, but never got a bite or offer.
@@dlmp70 Yes, I have used it (the dolly) for two winters and it works great. In the meantime, I use the lift for cleaning the back wheel and doing maintenance on the Road King. Still haven't replaced the bottle jack on the J&S nor have I tried to use it for anything; it just sits in the corner of my garage.
forgot to say that besides doing the normal battery tinder and full gas tank with stabilizer, I run the bike for about 5 minutes every three weeks and go through the gears while it is on the dolly.
I own the J&S. Bought it used for around $200 i believe, so I live with the flaws for how infrequently i use it. In the end (after 40+ years of owning bikes), I feel everyone needs a jack of some kind - but dollies to move a bike around are ultimately more effort, cost, and space consuming than they are worth.
I want to modify the OTC to have better wheels like the let's roll. I think the let's roll would suit my dad because he already has a couple table lifts and he has 13 Harleys and this would make it easier for him to move them around
Did you cover how high these jacks lift the bike? If all you're going to use it for is cleaning and oil changes, it doesn't matter. When you start to get into engine work, cam changes, etc, lift height is a consideration. On a full size touring bike, the small footprint jacks can easily fall over if the center of gravity shifts when a wheel is removed. I've seen bikes fall off a Harbor Freight cheapie (similar to the OTC jack) because the owner wasn't paying attention to that. I bought a Pit Bull jack a little over 10 years ago, because I could stand up when doing engine work. I've built full size touring Harleys from the frame up on a Pitbull jack, when both of my Handy tables were in use.
@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle , have you ever heard of the Black Widow motorcycle jack? I am looking for another quality jack, hopefully made in the USA. I like the LetsRoll excpet for the no hydraulic part. I had a Pythin lift, supposedly made in TN, terrible customer service after 2 bottle jacks started leaking with no recourse for replacements. Thanks Robert
Robert, love the videos. A lot of great information. Have you seen or heard of the "Iron Horse Lift/Dolly"? Similar to the the "Let's Roll" dolly but looks like it may have a "safer" lift system. Also American made. May be worth a look.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle My apologies!! First Thank you for your service. Second I was going back thru your "history" of videos and did find your review of the "Let's Roll Dolly". I am seriously considering purchasing one for myself. Great videos and keep up the good work and keep it preloaded!!
Have had a J&S for about 11 years. All the same issues, bottle jack leaks, no CS... Suits my needs very well. I just service the bottle jack annually....
Robert, you’re so right about J&S, I love it but their customer service sucks,it took months to get a replacement jack an they charged my card right away, i tried calling, im an email, no response i did a charge back on credit card they emailed the next day. I told them you can cuss at me, make fun of me, i dont care, I just expect some communication lol
Any of those dollys would be perfect in our carport. We would be able to get my Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude under the carport and keep it cleaner. Not to mention, being able to clean my motorcycle rims, check and air up my tires. Life would be so much easier.. haha. I need to get me one of those.
Thank you Robert. I have owned my JS Jack for over 7 years. You are right, they changed the design slightly over the years. Yours is slightly different than mine, specifically the pedal to jack it up. Your observation about their customer service is 💯 % I emailed them with a specific warranty question. After 4 weeks and no response, I decided to purchase the safety arms because they actually bent, both of them. Now the 2nd issue is after I ordered them till today 10/13/2022, I have yet to receive them. It's been more than 3 weeks. Very disappointed. The only issue I have with the Let's Roll Dolly is the price. I'm not cheap, I just think for a dolly it's a bit pricey. I actually had a question can I use my own scissor jack in the Let's Roll Dolly ?
I have a Yamaha Bolt R-Spec and my Harbor Freight jack leaves the bike very unstable when on it. The Let's Roll jack and dolly would be a good setup if the jack itself was a bit shorter when down. You need a minimum of 3.85" to get the jack under the bike and I only have 3.5" on the kickstand side when the bike is resting on the kickstand. I could possibly position the bike upright and get that clearance however for $700 I would like the jack and dolly to work right out of the box as advertised. Trying to hold a bike upright off the kickstand while trying to slide a jack underneath with one foot can be pretty risky. I live alone so it's hard to hold the bike upright and take a measurement at the same time to see if I have the required 3.85", and again, why pay $700 for a piece of equipment I'm going to have to modify to get to work.
One of the primary uses for my jack is oil changes. I don't think the Let's Roll will lift the bike high enough or have enough clearance to reach the 3 plugs. Otherwise, it seems pretty useful. It's unfortunate that J and S is having issues, because I like it. Let's Roll should consider developing something that can lift the bike higher.
Hi Riding and Wrenching, Bikers do change the oil using the Let's Roll system. And we are looking into a way of getting the motorcycle higher, however, if it gets too high it can be more challenging to move. The center of gravity is higher, that would be the only concern.
Great reviews. I would skip the seduction music and just jump to the review next time. But I love the detail. I was thinking about that Lets Roll dolly, but now I see its not what I'm looking for. Thank you for the well thought out explanations. I'm just trying to find a lift that give me easy access to the primary, transmission, and oil pan drain plug. Every jack I've tried blocks one of those plugs in some way. Just ridiculous. What do you do about that?
Great review Robert. I was very interested in your review of the OTC jack. Other reviews I've heard (a couple years ago of the OTC) indicate a very sensitive lowering lever that drops the bike to fast. Maybe OTC has rectified that issue.
I move my Road Glide around my garage almost daily while ON the OTC jack! I think you had issues moving it because of your epoxy floor, NOT the jack itself. Mine works like a DREAM on my smooth finished garage floor. Great video again Robert, thanks for all you do for the community!
IM NOT PAYING $600 FOR A STINKING JACK, just not going to happen. Man, my daddy worked on his car, motorcycles, and bicycles with none of these comforts. He had to make do, He was a genius.
Nice vid thks for shring...i picked up an Indian and was looking at what i need to center lift the bike while on the lift table..and so far i think the lets roll center lift will fit the bill..they do make an adapter plate.but how stable would that be..while changing a tire.need more input...lol.Peace
It’s too bad about that J & S jack and the fact their customer service sucks. I currently have the craftsman lift which is pretty much the same as the OTC jack. It has the 2 foot pedals and the tiedown points and everything else and it works perfectly fine for me and I only paid $140 for it. I don’t have any hesitation, as far as raising mine all the way up. Most of the time I never put a tie down the strap on it and I’ve never had an issue even with both wheels off the bike. Thanks for a very informative video.
I wonder if the Let's Roll just sells the outer stand with wheels? If I knew what the distance is between the two pads the bike sits on, I could use my existing lift. BTW, that J&S jack looks just like my $90 Harbor Freight lift and it's handle broke off as well just from moving the jack around by itself. Cheap weak point weld.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you’re subscribed to my RU-vid channel!👍🏾😊 ru-vid.com I’m happy that my channel has been helpful to you! That makes all the time and effort that I put into this so worthwhile!
Check out the Iron Horse Lift, I think it’s way better than the Let’s Roll. Check it out and see if you can do a review on it. Then tell Traveling Tall and Cycle Fanatix about it too, lol!
