However it still restricts access to the underside of the bike.
I assure you the bike on the Redline dolly is more secure and stable than when on the Sears red jack.
I can make that claim due to I've owned the Sears red jack.
If I throw my weight against my bike when it's strapped to the Redline dolly the bike and dolly will just roll away from me.
That being I'm not trying to sell anybody a Redline dolly I just think any dolly is a great addition to anyone's garage whoever has a need to elevate their bike.
Hell you could even make your own dolly like Twistedbiker did if you have that capability.
But for $100 IMO the Redline dolly is a good buy.

I wish Harbor Freight still sold their motorcycle dolly. I never got a chance to pick one up and they don't seem to carry it anymore.
I actually contacted Harbor Freight in the past about this product and was told that it has been discontinued.
Item Number: 94778
Haul-Master 1000 Pound Motorcycle Dolly / Stand
o Three position adjustable contact point
o Vertical supports lock in place
o Padded contact points won't mar frame
o Width adjusts from 15-5/8" to 24"
o Tie down hooks let you secure bike to stand
o Four swivel casters
It was $39.99 without using a 20% off coupon.

IMO when strapped down your Sears red jack is more than stable enough to do just about anything you would ever need to do to a bike.
However it still restricts access to the underside of the bike.

I hear you,
I also looked high and low for that Haul Master dolly but just couldn't find one either.
The $40 price of the Haul Master is the reason I kept putting off buying the Redline dolly because it looked to me that they were the same other than the color and the price.
Then I found one at JP Cycles, then figured $100 for the Redline dolly wasn't that bad.

[QUOTE="big papa AZ; Just install wheels and adjust for height and width. Put my RK on it and pushed it around the garage, very steady. I believe this is set at the middle height."
I bought a jack from ebay. Power Vision 1700 lbs. It has a foot print of 14 1/4"
I am looking at the frame under my 15 RGS and I might be able to have a 20" width at the most under the frame if I am lucky,
My question is what is the width of your jack that you used and how tight was the fitment?
Really interested in this idea to make changing fluids cleaner and easier.
Thanks,
Tom

I did a review on this dolly awhile back.
Here's the link.
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...ly-review.html
According to the Redline spec:
"Adjustable width from 18.25" to 25.25" wide"
I think that's outside to outside.
I measured the pads at 2.25" so at 25.25" outside to outside, the maximum inside spread width would be 20.75".

I'm feeling a special kind of slow, but what kind of jack gets the bike up in the air far enough to get the dolly under it, but doesn't block where the dolly needs to roll under the bike? Do you use a regular floor jack or what?
