Very nice, one day I hope to have one of those in my garage too. They make wrenching and even cleaning so much easier.

If ya don't mind saying, where did ya get it, and how much did it cost? It looks expensive, but I'd love to have one.

That small lift in the middle for getting the tires up is cool too......

I bought it from a local distributor $1099 CAD, this is not a cheap lift, large air lift cylinder, thick metal base, 1,500lbs capacity, highest point 30", it comes with everything. I do business with the seller for a long time, he even throw in the side plates for ATV no extra cost. I was looking at the freight harbour lift, $429 but shipping costs a lot, I can't trust the foot pump, I might end up paying $680 after all. I came across with this one, it looks like the one I need and sturdy build so I bought it.

Very nice lift!

I bought the HF one when they had the 20% off so ended up paying about $250. Took the crappy wheel brace off and bought one similar to what you have on yours. Although I hate buying chinese crap, the HF lift is decently made and has the same 1500 lb. weight rating as yours. I'm not a professional wrencher, so the HF lift does the job for as much as I use it.

Edit... guess the chinese are making their bike lifts more appealing to the Harley market. That same lift pictured is about $200 if you buy a container full. Contact JIA MEEI INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. for more info.

I bought a Launch scan tool for my shop, paid $999. My tech tried to contact the company in China, they are willing to sell it to individual for $199 shipped. WTF? You got to find a way to crack the software for North america cars though lol
