motorcycle lifts
Looking for suggestions on a lift table/work station. I have the Sears hydraluic jack lift, I put the Softtail on it for cleaning, minor work, etc. I have not tried the Ultra on it yet.

RE: motorcycle lifts
I've had a PitBull hydraulic lift for a couple years and it ferfectly fine with baggers. In fact, I had my '02 RoadGlide on it for over a month while I had sent to heads out for work. Of course it does have a manual lock to engage once the bike is up in the air.
It has tie-down loops, but I've never used them...

Try this link Eagle Equipment
I purchased a table lift from them a little over a year ago, very satisfied with quality and function.
I went for the table with the removable rear wheel plate. They have the best pricing for this quality table lift. You can find cheaper ones from harbor freight etc. but you get what you pay for.

RE: motorcycle lifts
I got the Harbor Freight lift[sm=icon_rock.gif], and the sears MC jack also.[sm=icon_ladiesman.gif] I use the sear jack when I'm cleaning the bike. The Harbor freight lift is a good buy for the money 300.00 bucks; 800.00 bucks and I don't have a dealership is way too much. That 800.00 bucks I could use to buy more chro[sm=happybounce.gif]me

RE: motorcycle lifts
I have the Harbor Freight lift and love it. I also invested in a Condor Wheel lock. well worth the extra money. no Air and holds my dresser with a removable rear tire plate. I use it for minor repairs and cleaning, no more bending down, every thing is eye level

RE: motorcycle lifts
$300 vs. $800 makes it an easy decision in my mind. Yes, you do get what you pay for, and it would be a $300 "platform" for my personal use. If I ran a shop or had a back-yard business, Iam sure I'd go the extra 5 Bills.
Somebody tell me the dimensions of the lift lowered? WxHxD And the max height?
TIA

RE: motorcycle lifts
Some people have suggested changing the bolts on the Harbor Freight lift since it comes with low quality bolts. I've had my cruisers on it without incident, but will change to hardened bolts this spring. It's really nice not to be kneeling or bent over for extended period of time when working projects.
