I ordered these, https://www.dynamotousa.com/ they ship from Australia and they aren't cheap, but neither is my sanity knowing the Chinese junk could fail and break. Mine should be here next week. I will get a picture when they show up.
I use a small scissor lift in winter to hoist my Sportster off the ground and prevent the tyres getting flat spots, I bought mine seven years ago for Ł30.00 on eBay. They are still available on eBay at Ł49.99 in the UK. It has a maximum load capacity of 1100 lbs, that's more than enough to lift a Sportster.
What's up with the handle on that lift?? A piece of all-thread and two nuts??? Interesting marketing for sure.
How do you suspend it on just those small saddles? Blocks of wood front and rear to just steady it? Any picture in use?
It certainly looks solid.

How does that work for a Sportster? Does it even lift? Where do you lift it from, those "saddles" don't appear to be adjustable? Can you post a picture of how you use it on your bike?
I built a wood cradle for mine, don't even need to tie it down. Both wheels off the ground, dead calm, steady and perfectly balanced. Attachment 611268 Attachment 611269

I was told by the company they didn't make a version for the Sportster

What 470004 posted is designed to be used with the scissor type lift that Roy posted. Once the bike is raised that slides in around the lift then you lower the bike onto it and remove the lift.
I have a similar lift to Roy and use it without those spigot things. I think they are all a copy what HD specify in the FSM, HD 45968 fat jack and HD 45967 shop dolly.
