Default Lift

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this lift. Not a bad price at all.
Harbor Freight Lift

OC, mine is very simular to it.
However, mine was purchased through Auto Zone car parts.

You'll be glad you got it. It's much nicer to raise your bike to do whatever... without the bending over. [:'(]

I considered building my own, but for that price I couldn't resist.

I borrowed my Bro-in-laws before I bought my own. He says it works great on his Super Glide, but top heavy with his Sportster.
I use a small nylon come-a-long strap to secure mine to the lift.

However, I've seen in other adds, a Sportster adapter is offered as well.
I'm thinking Sears???

I thought I read somewhere that the Sears lift doesn't fit under Softails without acutually putting the bike up on some wood blocks to get it a bit higher. Anyone have experience?

I've got a similar one that I bought at Costco. Had to take the wheels off to get it under the bike. It's great for service and cleaning. I also have the snap on tools rolling seat with the tool tray underneath. Best money you'll ever spend. No bending, and a place to put your beer.
