If you go with either Sears jack (yellow or red) you'll want to get the HD adapters as well...they keep the bike level on the lift. I picked mine up at the dealership.
I have the red one which everybody likes to bitch about but it works fine for me. Never had a problem with it. If it was me and I had to choose between the silver and the yellow one, I would spend the extra 37 bucks and get the yellow jack. The red on I got for $68.00 and I have seen it on sale for $48.00. It is made in China so there were a few issues when the assembly was done but no worries since then.
I have the much maligned red jack. Any of them will work. Make sure the weight rating well exceeds the weight of your bike, make sure it has a safety stop, and either get the HD dyna frame adapter kit or use something homemade to level the frame on the lift.
Are these just the plain old floor jacks that you guys are talking about?
Yeh, Sears Motorcycle/ATV lift. They used to carry 2 - a yellow one and a red one. Apparently now a grey one has appeared. The yellow one costs more and the red one has taken a beating on this forum for a while. As in most cases, the more you spend, the better quality you get. But I and many people here use and have used the red one and have been very satisfied with it and don't feel there is any reason to bash it. I use it on my ATV, my HD, and my kid's dirtbike and have never had a problem with it.
I bought the red one and loved until it simply died one day. The air release valve stopped working and now it won't pump up. Oh well. I guess you get what you pay for.
