That looks like a nice table lift. Unfortunately I don't have the available floor space so I have a J&S for the quick jobs and I have a Kendon Lift if the bike is going to be off the ground for bigger jobs. When not in use it just stands up against the wall.

 

Some really nice jacks and tables in this thread. Wish I had the room for a table but really only need a jack anyway.

Between this thread, mfg. web sites and reviews I'm going for the J&S.
The only question I have is that their site says for all Harley's but the compatibility list doesn't call out my model.

I only have a little '17 Iron so I guess I have to get the dimensions and measure a bit. But will the lift rails grab underneath at good spots. Anyone use this baby on a small Iron?

 

Your wife must know my wife.

 

I don't think they've made significant changes to the basic sporty frame in forever...at least not since they went to the engine isolators (2004 I believe)...and even then the basic geometry on the lower tubes is the same.

I'd make a phone call to J&S to confirm, but I'm sure you'll be fine.

 

Try this:


"Honey, I won it in a raffle!!! I bought a ticket on a new motorcycle for 10 bucks about two months ago and this was second prize!"

 

I don't think you can go wrong with the cheaper Harbor Freight or Northern Tools lift. For the money they are great. To make mine rock steady, I always use it with the casters removed. Admittedly, it's hard to find a lift that can do everything and fits all bike frames. Anyone who has tried to modify their Softail shocks can relate. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck.
