Default Motorcycle Lifts
What is a good over all lift for your garage? I am looking at the Pitbull line of lifts and for the money they look like they will do the job. Does anyone have any experiencewith this line of lifts.Would prefer an air hydralic type lift. What about the fold up type will they support an Ultra? Thanks

Lots of people rave about the J&S jack. Same concept and stability as the Pitbull, but a little cheaper. It is the one I will be going with.

The Yellow Jack from Sears, it's far superior then the red one and goes underany bike while it's on the Jiffy stand, the red one doesn't. It cost more but it's worth it. Do a search, there are approximately 1,232,423 threads on this subject.

I bought a yellow Sears lift but it seemed too shakey with my Ultra on it. So, I then bought a J&S lift and couldn't be happier. It is very stable and the quality is outstanding.

I have the full size version. It's homemade but works well. I also have a Sears small Jack.
