yea i was thining about putting that chuck on the lift, i but it on a trailer and ended up not using it because it seemed like it really pinched the front tire, not sure it that is a big deal or not. i just strap the tire to the front rail before i tie it down to keep it from twisting

It works just like a Condor. Condor is better made but a lot more expensive. I know, I have both.

I have their "High Position Motorcycle Lift" and it's garbage. While it does the trick to lift the wheels off the ground, it is very unstable. There is just too much play in it. The front end of the bike probably sits a good 1.5" lower or so. And the side of the bike that is away from the jack area is also lower. I have jackstands underneath the arms to further support the bike....which I would have done regardless, but the lift is definitely sketchy...

i paid $299 plus tax. I had a coupon out of american iron magazine. I have heard on here of people using the 299 coupon and a 20% coupon but the cashier would not go for it. The coupon that i had said cant be combined with any other discount. I think without the coupon it is $450

ok im not sure what just happened to the lift
i got alittle time today to set it up
i set it up and everything worked fine, i lifted it all the way up a few times
i decided to top off the fluid like may have recommended on here and after my wife lifted me up as i stood on it then she let me down, i went to go lift it again with no wieght and nothin, it wont even lift an inch, it moves but nothin, i made sure that the relaease pedal wasn't somehow pressed and it is not
the fluid that i put in is hydraulic jack fluid and says it is fine to use with all other hydralic jack fluids, the instructions say to use sae hydralic jack fluid. i went to 3 places and didn't find any that said "sae"
did i just **** this thing up before i even used it
