Just wondering what to look for as far as brands, made in USA or China, width, rear drop out panel for changing tire. Really any info on the shop type air assisted model, not the little $50 one. Hope it's ok to ask this here but want some feedback from the big bagger section.

I have seen some on flebay about $550 and up for good one. What did you buy?

 

We just went through this debate. Link for you. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/281212-need-a-lift.html

 

Harbor Fright, China, has a foot pump and for $300.00 it works great. Had it over a year and put SG's, Rk's and EG's on it. Has a removable plate to drop a wheel when you want. I think the pneumatic model is about $75.00 more.

 

+1 on the Harbor Freight unit. I have had mine for three years. The only thing I did was change the tire vice to a better system.

 

I bought a used bestway lift, and installed it in my garage. Its not for everyone, but I like it.

 

Bluesssman, I found if close up the tire clamp so that its tight on the tire you can ride the bike right in and get off to hook up the straps. Damn thing will hold the bike upright with no problems. China, go figure!

 

I detest working on a table lift. It's too restrictive. There is only the "bestway" for me.

Now thats f--ing cool. Wish I could sink one in my garage floor.

Like that bestway. What kind of height do you get off that and does it turn?
