Default Motorcycle jack


Where is a good place to get a jack/lift? I have seen some sites where they range from $75 on up.

Sears has them for around $90 less if there is a sale on.



the package on the hand grips is a set of tie-downs.

Phil,

How do you get it under the Ultra (does it take two people....I can't fit it under mince on the stand) and where are you tying the tie downs? Also, where do you position the lift under it?

All y'all jack folks, make sure you inspect the fasteners, especially the bolts. Some of the less expensive jacks have been known to use the wrong grade hardware. If the bolt heads aren't marked Grade 8, or metric equivalent, it'd be a good idea to replace 'em.

I got mine from Sam's, made in good ol' China like most of 'em on the market. It had good hardware, but a buddy's from the same manufacturer didn't. His sheared a bolt with his baby on it. Luckily, he was standing right beside it, jacking it up when it happened. He was able to keep it from falling completely over.
