Default Harbor Freight High Position Motorcycle Lift

[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Hector/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]Hi all,

Have anyone had any experiences with this lift? I have a lowered EG Standard. I tried other HF lifts as well as Sears neither worked without me having to ride my bike onto blocks. My bike clearance is only 3.5 inches from the floor on the kickstand side.

This lift would fit under my bike.

Thanks

I have been looking at this lift also. I have an RKC. I have one of the HF
ATV /Motorcycle lifts now, works well but won't raise the bike as high as
the high lift one. This one looks easier to use also. I found a 20% off coupon and may use it for the lift.

You need to measure in between the two forks to see if you can get your frame on it.

I suppose this lift will work, if you only plan on working on one side of the bike.

Get a drive on lift and buy a wheel chauk that locks the front wheel when loaded. You can get either hydrolic or air lift. Harbor Freight less than $300.00, this will end all problems

Anybody use one of these? I did measure it and I think it would work for my RKC.

Good point, but like I mentioned earlier my choices are limited because of how low my bike is. I measured the distance between the forks and it will fit/work with my bike.

I signed up for HF e-mails and I am suppose to get some discount coupons. If I get a 20% discount, I will probably buy this lift.

Thanks all for your comments. I am surprised no one has tried one of these yet!

Default Lift

I have that lift and the harbor freight table lift, spend the extra money and get the table lift, not much you can do with a bike once it is strapped on, seems a bit unstable when its all the way up. on the other hand the table lift rocks, ride right up on it and easy access to everything.

How do you change a tire or wheel with the table lift? Did you buy
a better wheel chock or use the one that came with it?
