With 3 bikes there's always some sort of maintenance going on. I use it quite a bit. I've had it about 6 mo. and haven't had any issues with it.

Thanks for the reply. Just curious......when using this jack with your Heritage, does it hit on your shocks or will it lift it evenly from behind the shocks? Btw, is this jack durable enough to store your bike on it over the winter? Thanks again!

I've had one for about 5 years and it has never failed me. If you plan to winter the bike on it, you'll need two of them. It will lift one end or the other but not both at the same time with just one jack. Don't know if it hits your softail shocks or not.

Absolutely true. You will need two for lifting both wheels. When I lift the rear wheel I put it across just in front of the shock bodies. I haven't tried to change shocks, so I'm not really sure where I would put it to completely access the shocks.

Looks like a pretty solid/quality set-up. I say "go for it."

Question for those who have used it. What do you strap the bike to (to hold it upright) when using a smaller jack like that?

I strap to a lift. Of course this is being used on the Shovelhead.
