Exactly....

It's a great lift, but the clamp is flimsy.. I'll be drilling out and putting a wheel chock on soon.

+1 on the better chock, and a scissor block jack in case you want to take the wheel(s) off

Both are very nice Dude, I wonder what something like that costs? I have the same HF lift as fathog and I am pretty please with that one as well. I would upgrade though if I could afford too. My problem would be space. I would have to move it when not in use to be able to store both cars and my bike though then drag it back out when I wanted to use it. Not sure of thats doable or not either.

Congrats! Just like mine, except I threw that wheel clamp away and installed a

Don't get the HF wheel chock, its cheap as hell. I also bought a Titan 1000lb mini jack to lift the rear up. Works sweet.

That was a nice gift. It looks like there's a lot of orange on that lift, can you think of a good spot to paint the Harley emblem in black on it?

That wheel clamp is worthless but it did fine until I strapped it down. I will definitely need a mini lift at some point in time. Did you notice the hand shift, with the wood ****, I installed. It was a VW bug shifter from the 50's...
