So how you going to stabilize the bike ? That will give you 2 contact points and you need 3 .........

 

Your Dewalt cordless won't lift your bike. If it does it's not going to last long.
Also a very small table plate.

 

I have one of those jacks and it is one of my favorites. Low profile, don't care how low your bike is, that jack will fit underneath it. Fairly wide platform for the bike to set on, but the higher you go the less stable it feels. I raise mine with a 3/4 inch drive ratchet, your DeWalt cordless just aint gonna cut it.

 

True. I've used these "table jacks" to lift the rear of a bike high enough to remove the rear wheel while the bike was strapped to a lift table in the front.

Very stable that way, but not when used as a stand alone by itself.

 

I have used a small auto type hyd. jack with a block under the kickstand to get the 3 spot tripod when I had no choice but man that's asking Murphy to crap on your day. I use the scissor under them all the time on the table lift, one of the wheels has to be locked down some how or you are flirting with a dumped bike big time.

 

Speaking of auto jacks placed opposite of the kickstands, you can lift the front wheel of the RG easily high enough to pull the front wheel as long as you brace it for the time it takes to get the tire changed. (Just watch for the wire running down the right frame tube from the alternator to the battery! Pinching it causes lots of sparks...)

 

That's just fine as long as you hold the bike while it's up on it,and don't try to work on it.

 

I use a blackjack sissor lift from Dereck weaver on my Titan lift table. Table worked great for pulling the primary and transseal out of my dyna.I bought a second sizzor so i could use one front and rear staggerd the oil pan same as the lift arms sit on craftsman and j&s. Dyna is stored on a crafstman red , limited on the table , amd my j&s is sitting empty. I bought the j&s for the limited but the craftsman i reworked it to fit the Dyna. I like the footpedal bleed control on the craftsman better. I dont care for being bent under the bike trying to loosen the bleed valve. I like to stand upright and hold the front brake and bars as it comes down and touches down. i never trust i have the sidestand locked. On the table I raise the sizzor lift up to just hit the bottom frame on bike when i store them on the table. As for raising the sizzor jack, i just use a 8"adjustable wrench, doesnt take much effort, but a socket would be faster. Each has there pro's and cons i guess.

 

So my 1st choice was the same lift until I found the Black Widow Motorcycle Scissor Jack. Works great and is an all mechanical unit so I'm expecting it will be very durable. And it takes up about the same space as a phone book (remember those) so my garage footprint is not reduced. But this lift works very well, is smooth and professionally built and is not a ripoff like these hydraulic jacks everyone is toting. I wanted the same thing out of mine which is cleaning purposes and it's that and more.

The 3rd point is the wheel that is down, I'm not looking to lift the entire bike at once. But if I need to I can always use a jack stand or 2.

The cordless is a 18v XRP drill/nut driver. I can run that table up and down all day long without a sweat, hell this thing will do lug nuts, unlike those tinker toys the big box store pushes.

See reply above.

 

that is the jack I am saving for. how do you like it? I have a 2013 electra glide ultra limited and don't trust those cheap jacks.
