Any suggestionson a lift for an 06 Sportster? I posted this on the "general chat" and it turns outsome don't fit a Sportster that well

 

I have the Sears Red. It was great when the bike was stock. But now we have Progressive shocks that are a little shorter than stock and now its a bit of a deal getting it on the stand. The bike has to be upright to get the lift under it.

 

I have been using my buddy's OTC stinger for a while, love it! A very strong build motorcycle jack, I will probably get one this winter.

I picked up the new aluminum jack from sears a few weeks ago, works like a champ! Kinda awkward to get under the bike, as its lowered, and the kickstand doesnt like to cooperate, but once its on and strapped down, it ain't goin' nowhere!

 

I also have the sears red lift an it does work good but my bike is lowered like the others said its hard to get under the bike but sears also makes a yellow an blue lift that is made fore lowerd bikes my buddy has a vrod an has that lift an says it works great

 

yea thats the one ive got, it works pretty well! best part is that it's made for the most part entirely out of aluminum so itll never rust.

 

Got the Sears red. Have to put a block under the stand before I can roll the lift under the bike.

 

+1 for the sears aluminum. works great use the straps !!

 

The Sears aluminum is the one I plan on picking up this winter also.

 

What trmac said.

I also put a 1/2 " piece of plywood under the front tire, I have modidied the red sears to accomodate my sporty, works like a champ.
