UPDATE: Received my jack Tuesday. Still waiting on the handle as they said they were out when it shipped. Very nice lift and I see why people swear by them. I will add that waiting for them to communicate with you is useless. However, when I called Mykala was very helpful and informative. But, you will have to be the one to initiate contact.

Already in use........

Made in the USA, assembling China parts? Glad someone here mentioned the bottle jacks on the lift are made in China before I ordered one. At that price point I figured they were using the USA made "US Jack".

Nice. That's a baller move. Do you actually know what supports that rear fork and the rear tire? I'd truly doubt it. Have you actually pulled that rear fork? Nope, not a glimmer of a chance. You're still running those craptastic Scorcher tires, so you're not so much with the program at all, are you?

That rear fork is supported by the transmission boss; you're getting some support from that final drive belt <which is problematic in an of itself> but that's a crap load of weight on the boss, and the rear fork pivot bearing.

The rear fork has a spacer on the right/intake side, along with a dust cover. On the left/drive line side is a press fit pivot bearing with an interference fit left spacer; and that's it. Held together by a hollow pivot shaft.

And you're hanging all that weight off of it; good luck with that. I await your 'my Dyna has a wobble/shimmy' thread.

Everyone thinks they're a wrench, until it's actually time to do wrench stuff...

The nonsense is saying made in usa when the part that actually does the heavy lifting is made in China. Especially when others are commenting that they have been waiting for weeks and weeks on the "slow boat from China". As I see it if your buying China just buy the entire thing China and have amazon drop it at the house in two days. But I guess some like certain "brands" as they are in vogue and that does not matter.
