Over easy See post number 47 in this thread.

Who knows maybe the BMW guy was taking his wife on "special" bike ride inside the garage...

I remember it on other forums. The bikes front tire wasn’t secure in the chock, and he didn’t bother to strap the bike to the lift.

So the bike tipped over, partially pulled out, tipped further, and then tipped the whole thing over.

Operator error. It would have tipped over just about any lift table.

But hey, it’s HF, so blame that.

Thanks for the help, Lift King has front, and rear drop outs, mine came with the wheels to move it around and push it out of the way , while not in use.
Lifetime warranty also.

i have a princess auto lift. the Canadian version of this harbor freight one. we have used it to change about 30 rear tires on the touring bikes and i have torn down and redone 3 other bikes on it. i have the air assist to raise it. i did buy a different crank handle type chock for it that holds the front tire much better. never had a problem with it. at the time it was on sale and cost $349 CDN. i have had it about 7 years now. can't imagine being with out one. i also use this to clean the bike rather than squat on the floor

Another Harbor Freight user here, never a problem in about 8 years.

This is one important note:
The wheel chock that comes with it, is junk, replace it! I use a Condor.

Thanks for all the information to chew on. Still on the hunt, have reached out to a couple places waiting to hear back.

Harbor Freight and save some money. Throw away the front wheel clamp that comes with the lift and replace it with pretty much anything else ( I used the Pittsburgh, also from HF and extended it towards the front to better balance the lift front to back). I've had my HF for several years, and even welded extension tubes underneath so I can drive my 450 + lb mower on the lift for service. I can't figure out how someone would tip one over, as I have used one for service and repair on a 2007 and a 2018 FLH.

Think I’ve settled on the black widow pro table with a 1500lb lift rating. Would order today but not available to receive next week if it were to show up then. I will update this when I get it installed in the garage.
