Like HOGRIDA, I have had my bike up on the red Sears jack all winter, in the living room, never had a problem. Had to use spacers like everyone else, just used small pieces of oak blocks. Got the bike out in the garage now and gonna lift it again...Just as easy as jacking a C-5 Galaxy!

My buddy bought one of the yellow Sears jacks, the one with 2.5" clearance and it worked fine on my WG. He bought it for his Big Dog and knowing him he would not buy junk. I just saw the yellow one on sale at Sears last night for $139.00. The nice thing about the yellow one is that it slid right under my bike with no effort. We used it to change the wheels on my WG and after strapping it down it was sturdy as we need it to be.

of the thousands of lifts they have sold, I think only having 7 bad reviews is pretty good.

I've had mine for two years now with no issues. I use the HD adapters. It is a little high, so I use a setup just like Timmer.

chocks in this picture are due to the weight balance being so far off with the front end apart...

Red Sears jack, I have had no problems so far. It is 8 months old and use it at least once a week.

Bought the Sears lift, the red one. Lasted a full six months and now the internal valves in the jack are shot with no luck on fixing it. I don't know if I can just replace the bottle jack or if the whole thing just needs to go. I think next time I will spend more money for something of more substantial quality.
