Hi all,

I have an 07 Softai Standard. Does anyone here have any good advice or experience with motorcycle lifts? I would like to get one for routine maintenance and cleaning. I have hear the the Sears Yellow one is but how about the Red one? Much cheaper. Any suggestions?

One factor to consider is that the Sears yellow jack willlower down to 3.5". If you need that low of aclearance the red one wont work.

 

Keep in mind, you get what you pay for.

I vote for the Sears Yellow Jack..

 

I have the Red. Works great, but with my Deluxe, isn;t low enough. I have to put front wheel on 2x4 to raise it alittle.

 

- the softails require a plastic pad for the jack to
clear the rear-shocks ?

skip the sears pos....just my opinion....I got one...then went to fall bike week and saw a pitbull motorcyle lift...dude, it's well worth the extra money to get one, trust me. The angle of the lift pads on the pitbull is totally different and the design is out of this world.

And yes, they will perform as advertised...too bad, you're on the "other coast"...i'd let you HAVE this sears lift just to get it out of my way.

 

Pitbull lift works well and you can jack the bike to the top and roll it around your garage ,very stable and good access underneath.Jack is wide and very mobil with the caster wheels in the back.

 

I have the yellow aluminum one like soft06 is showing and it works great on my 06 Heritage. Plus it is light enough if you have to carry it around.

You just opened another red can of worms...
