</p>Black Widow Motorcycle & ATV Pneumatic Hydraulic Jack Review
I am a cheap sorta guy and was hard pressed to spend this kind of money on a motorcycle jack when there are so many jacks out there for less. However, after a lot of research I decided this was the one for a number of reasons.1. Fits the bike well. The support bars fit the bike well and do not come in contact with the shocks on the underside of the bike. The support bars extend about 2 inches past the frame. Also this was one of only 2 jacks where the manufacturer had the full spec sheet listed online. In fact they had the mechanical dwgs showing all the dimensions so I knew it would fit my bike before I ordered it. Other cheaper jacks had some basic dimensions listed but not all. It was those jacks that had reviews like "....won't fit a 2002 Road King Classic...." or "...good for my ATV but does not fit my VTX1300...".
2. Option for compressed air. I have a 5 gal Sears compressor and the ability to use it with this jack was a real plus.
3. Reviews about the quality of the build. Comments like "sturdy and stable" really sold me because the cheaper jacks had comments like "....good jack but watch out when lowering..." or "...the jack will lift the bike but I was not comfortable moving the bike on the jack....". Comments like this made me realize that the cheaper jacks came with some risks that I could not afford with a $20K bike.
After receiving it, I was not disappointed. It took 30 min to put it together (4 assembly steps) and test it. The included rachet straps tied it down and moving the bike on it was stable. It is a great addition to my garage now the Harley is off warranty. In the end I realized (and no offense to the hardworking motorcycle mechanics out there,you guys rock) that this jack costs about 2 hrs of labor at the local HD shop ($95/hr). So my savings from doing the next oil change and lube job myself covers the cost of the jack.
The one thing I will ding it on is the foot pedal pump. On my jack it is a bit "floppy" with a lot of left and right swing. Not sure if that is standard or just my jack. I am looking at what it will take to remove this play without voiding the warranty.
So, a good jack for a reasonable price that should last for years. I recommend it.
