I use the same lift. Here is a video of it. I had a Harbor Freight yellow lift before and these two are day and night. This lift can be lowered as slow as you want which I had trouble with with the yellow one. Never dinged my heat shields, you just gotta check and make sure the arms for the lift are over far enough to lift the bike, but not extended past the edge of the frame on the opposite side if that makes sense. http://youtu.be/Vjn_FGvvPHU

Is this the lift? In the video it is red, but maybe blue is the new years color? BTW, anyone know where to get the discount coupons for online purchase? Thanks!

Check out the video on J & S jacks, Determine if a jack or lift is wanted. I have a J&S jack and fits my needs. Very minor maintenance but heavy duty cleaning and polishing. Like the wheels free to rotate. No straps or frame jack needed. Term plug and play could be used. Customer service is outstanding. Jack is not cheap but very high quality.
I've got a Direct Lift table - extremely well built and will last a lifetime. I park my bike on the table in the garage, so it is used all the time, one way or the other.
I've also got a Harbor Freight jack, and it has served the purpose well.
I used to have a Craftsman lift (red) and I wasn't very impressed with the way the Craftsman lift flexed with my old Fat Boy on it. I know it will be more work to raise and lower the bike with a scissor jack, but I don't need to use it very often. I like the compact size of the ManSpace jack, and at $61 I could buy two and (hopefully) end up with a very stable lifted bike.
