RE: Who makes a decent motorcycle jack ?
I popped $150 for the Craftsman aluminum one. It's 44 lbs and much easier to operate than their cheaper model. Plus it has a lower clearence, 3 1/2 " which slides easily under my 05 Ultra. Lifts both wheels, has straps and as stable as an inexpensive lift can be.
I keep mine up when storing to keep the fuel tank full. But I seldom take it up very high.

Anybody have any experience with the RiderLift? It's pretty pricey (@$359), but it's a good looking lift from the brochure. 30" high. It can be seen here: www.riderequipment.com

I got the sears jack, Its ok but if you are serious you need to show this site to the honey,It is X-MAS. Time for giving or getting.
gregsmithequipment.com, I got the PRO CYCLE DT for x-mas last year and it is great. You can change the rear tire with this model and they are adding a free jack this year. I have 3 harleys and this makes it so much easier to service them. some of my buddies come over to use my lift or to drink my beer,not sure which.

I noticed that no one has mentioned the Pit Bull yet. Does anyone here have any experience with them? Are they any good? I'm wondering if I should get a Pit Bull or just go with the Dunwell. I've never heard of the Dunwell before, and they sure do look nice on their website.
Thanks,
Doug

I have a Pit Bull that I use for the Road King and my Goldwing. It is a great tool. I can wheel either bike around at will and requires no straps. Very solid. I also have a Harbor Freight table lift that I would highly recommend.

I bought the one at Sams. I had to put spacers over the legs of the jack and under my frame rails to prevent jacking my DYNA up on the lower pan. I just purchased a Road King and according to specs it actually a bit lower than the DYNA which makes me think that might be more of an issue. If I get a chance I'll push it under and see if theres' clearance issues. RIDE STRAIGHT>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>
