SMenasco,
The model # you posted is the newer, yellow Sears lift...
I've got the same one and it works great on my Heritage. The only issue I've had with it is how touchy it can be when lowering. A little twist releases a lot of lift in short order!
It is nothing bad, just something to be aware of...

And it's aluminum so it doesn't way a freakin' ton. 45ish pounds or so. Easy to lug around.

I have one of the older Sears jacks I use it on an o3 RK and it works great. It is stable lightweight, easy to manuever and works like a charm. I'm not sure that was enough superlatives or not, but I am very satisfied with mine. $69.95 and warrantied (I'm not sure if it has lifetime or not) I'm very pleased, again.

I just picked one of these up and I gotta say, I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality of the construction.. Spanks the old Sams club lift I used to have. Looks a lot more solid. 1500 lb capacity.. I'll be using it on the tractor also. hehe.

Comes with a set of straps (that I needed to buy anyway) and a 1 yr warranty

I don't have the exact model you requested but I do have the red model from Sears. I keep mine on the jack all winter long. I take the pressure of jack and keep it up on the safety supports. The arm is removable, so while it is in storage. I don't worry about someone bumping the jack.

RE: Motorcycle Jack
The thing that really troubles me is this "DYNA spacer" thing there talking about. With that plate on one side of the frame, you DEFINITELY are going to have to use wood or something to make up for that!!![&:]
Last time I changed the oil, I did it off of the Jiffy stand!!
Tape the funnel in place, hold the bike level, and add oil!!!!
Don't laugh!! it works!!!

RE: Motorcycle Jack
I'm really liking the big 1500lb Craftsman lift now, but I'm definitely saving up for the big handy industries table though. That's the way to do it. That just makes life too easy to be able to get the bike way up there to working levels. I figure $1500 hopefully will do it, with an air compressor included. I'm waiting to see just how much I enjoy doing the work myself though before I go to the expense. That's some real cash to spend on saving your back when you drop the oil or lube the cables or adjust the clutch.
