Default Harbor Freight Dolly

I have a little shop in my garage and everything except the bench is on wheels. Never had to put the cars in until the last of April when everbodys' weather went sour. I had trouble maneuvering the bike so that I could compact everything into the garage.
I ordered a HF dolly to help with the logistics of cram in the garage, in case it happens again.
We were very lucky in that we had no downed trees, bad roof shingles, dents in the cars, or broken windows.
All may not turn out the same next time so the dolly should help. Quality of the materials in the metal frame is good along with the very RED powder coat. Quality of the hardware and instructions sucked big time, but with trial and reerror it just isn't that difficult a task.
Here are a couple of pics.

If you get the June '11 Hot Bike magazine, Harbor Feight has a coupon for $40 off that dolly. HF will honor coupons up to 30 days from purchase.

I bought mine last fall and I am happy with it. I put it together with red loctite to prevent any problems and lubed the wheels for ease of movement. My 2009 Super Glide fits perfect on it.

Default Dolly Hardware

I think the hardware that comes with it is sh*t. I hope to replace all of it over time and a few pieces quicker than others.
I lubed the wheels, axles, and ball bearing with dry slide when I was putting the wheels on. The seemed to not rotate very well on the ball bearings and the lube really helped them out a bunch.
My only real complaint is that it doesn't have rubber wheels...

I just saw that dolly advertised today for $59.99. It was in an ad in a magazine. Looks like a pretty nice dolly for that kind of money.

I get H.F. fliers all the time in the mail and in the newspaper, but the ads in the bike mags are usually a better deal.

How hard is it to get the bike on and off the dolly?

I was thinking of getting one for this winter storage of the bike, but everytime I go into HF to get something I can't bring myself to buy it due to the quality!
