Got it for $76. It's the cheap one though. They have at least 2 styles.

Be careful of the handle.
Mine is a tight fit under my 17 Deluxe, but it fits.
My wife broke the weld that holds the tube the handle slides into.
So I will have to re-weld it (didn't take much).

That's the "lift" vs. the jack which pretty much runs ~$80...

If anyone's looking for a good buy on the lift...the $299 sale is a good deal tho.

I purchased one a couple of months ago and after assembling it, it would not go down all the way. Someone welded the the perch for the top of the hydraulic jack to low. No matter what I did it would not go down all the way. I brought it back.. real cheap crap.... You get what you pay for..

ive had mine for about 3 years now and done TONS of work with it. never let me down, no problems other than having to re-glue the rubber strips on the lift legs. hell, ive used it to jack up several cars too, including my musclecar.
one of my best harbor freight buys.

You do get what you pay for but sometimes you get lucky.

I am the op. I took my hf jack back this am as lifting arms were not parallel. Swapped it for another one and put it together. Won’t go under the sporty 1200C. I will pick up a couple of pieces of 3/4 plywood to put under the wheels. I only need about an 1/8 of an inch and the jack will clear then. Is that what most of users do. My bike is not lowered.

Mine's not HF but I have to pull the bike upright to slip under the furthest frame point from entry. It's not a big deal to hold it upright with one hand while I jack it up snug to the fame with my foot.
I've also had to re-glue the rubber pads but this one has lasted me over 20 years and gone through a few bikes.

+1 for the yellow jack.
It drops to 4" which is one of the low enough to fit under my Heritage.
Plus it's light enough to hang on the wall.

HF sells a similar one that I think is the same manufacturer.
With the 20% off coupon the HF one is only about $136.
