i have used one many times and recently bought my own. they work great as long as you dont use the chock that comes with it. i bought the chock that you just roll into and it locks that they sell for a think $40, they have this sale pretty often

I bought one about 5 years ago. Still works fine. I keep reading posts that it is a risk putting a bike up on it, but no actual incidents of anything bad happening. I'm starting to think it might be the just the competition. You can spend several hundred more for a fully automatic lift system that will save ya about 30 seconds when lifting the bike.

I've had mine since Fathers day and it works fine, I've had some heavy bikes on it and it did real well. I agree that the original wheel keeper is lacking but I just added front extensions on it to grip the wheel more and it does fine but I do want to put the self locking one that you mentioned on mine so I don't need someone to help when putting something on it.

got my 06 Elecraglide up on mine right now. Did drill holes and added my own eyebolts for my tie-down straps tho. I agree that the front wheel clamp is a bit Mickey Mouse...but it's usable.

I have read that a lot of people love their and have no problems with them. But this is what happen to the Safety bar on the one I tried with my 2011 Ultra on it, the bar was still bending when I saw what was happen. You can not beat the price if they work for you just keep your eyes on it just in case ride safe.
