I have a few Metric bikes and My HF works great for those,,,,,but does not like the SGS,,,,IMHO buy the more "applicable" lift for the heavier bike,,,it just may save you money in the long run

I`m certainly not going to yank the axle out with one hand and lower the wheel with the other ...

my HF dropout has a X from the brace, with the lift in the lowest position I pull the dropout, then slowly raise the lift. My lift is Air or foot.

My Craftsman bike lift/jack has served me well for 20 years.

I just saw a 1500 lb Black Widow lift. It looked very substantial. Air only.

My old Craftsman has served me well through out the years, will not lift the Ultra.

I just ordered a 1500 lb Black Widow but it's hydraulic. I don't have enough compressor to run an air lift. I'll post pictures and suchlike once it arrives.

The Craftsman is a 1500 lb jack and shouldn't be an issue.. I've had mine for quite a few years now, however nothing beats a table if you have the room...

i'm limited with space, the small portable HD brand lift is perfect for my Street Glide, I've already used it....If I had some more room, I'd consider a table lift.....the company that makes the lift that I bought with the HD orange paint job sells the same lift with a heavier max weight and twice the warranty....for $100 less
