Curious how you got the jack going from front to rear vs going in from the side?

Dollys are great for moving the bikes around and working on them. The lift gets in the way. Dollys work even better when you have multiple bikes. You can 'file' them neatly away.

ETA..... I don't trust HF. I'd always worry about their welds and poor steel.

I'm curious too... how did you get the jack situated like that? I've always gone in from the right side. I've used a Harbor Freight jack for about 5 years now with no problems.

I can move my bikes around on my old but still working just fine, JC Whitney lift. If my slab was as smooth as what some of you guys are showing, I could move all around. But my old and crappy slab prevents a lot of movement. But the dolly would be the same thing, for me. I guess my point is, do you have a nice smooth floor before investing?

My garage floor is not the best. Although it isn't broken up, there are a few major floor cracks. The worse part is it has a significant "dip" in the middle. It dips so much (about 2.5" lower in the middle) that I use 2 of those large ribbed garage floor mats (10' x 24') to help collect winter snow melt off the cars.

During the riding season, when I begin to pull the jack out from the corner, while my UL is on it, I need to make sure it doesn't speed up out of control going "downhill" and wind up all the way down my driveway....a real potential bummer!....LOL I find that my J&S jack works great as are other name brands....personally, I won't use a cheap HF type jack....I'm a believer in: "you get what you pay for" and I want the best to lift and move my $27,000 machine.....but that's me.
