Does anyone own a harbor freight ........
Does anyone own and use a harbor freight dolly for 2009 and up touring?
I heard 2009 and up are stretched a few inches more than the prior years.

my evo bagger fit...barely- I couldn;t really use the wheel locks.
my FXRP and panheads fit ( I have a few dollies)...but my 2009 FLHTC doesn;t fit....
at least the ones I have which I bought a few years ago.
You have to figure out where to put the arm for the jiffy stand.
if only they would stretch the design of the beam a couple of inches- they would accommodate the longer wheelbase bikes
they do work well to move the bikes around the garage- the floor has to be swept clean to keep the cheepo casters jamming on a piece of gravel....and you DO need to have hands on the bike when moving, don;t just move the dolly and expect the bike to stay stable.
btw look for a sale & use the coupon...I think I paid $69 for my dollies

I had the regular harbor freight mc jack and didn't like it. It would not bleed down slow, it was either fast or faster which meant it was totally useless trying to reinstall the rear wheel. I personally would not buy anything from HF that has moving parts. Complete Chinese junk.
I have one for my 09 and it worked fine. Plenty of room. Able to wheel the bike around my garage all winter. Cost me $79 with a coupon. There are adjustments for the location of the jiffy stand.

I have one 2016 barely fits but it will work for the cheap price it works for what I wanted it for. The extension for the jiffy stand could be a bit bigger. I plan to modify it someday.
This shows my 2013 on it from the rear.

Does that mean the jiffy stand is pushing against the end of the smaller than normal harbor freight jiffy stand holder? Since you say it's too small are you concerned that the jiffy stand could pop over the lip of the stand and make the bike fall off?
