Is the HD brand motorcycle jack new, why doesn't anyone talk about it in all the "jack" threads? Does anyone know who makes it for HD? Just wondering. Thanks
I like the fact that the HD jack/lift (94653-98) appears to be non-hydraulic. You crank it so it leads me to believe it is a machanical/screw/scissor type arrangement. The list is $379. Would be noice to know who the OEM is and if it could be had cheaper.
Anyone actually own the HD lift and is it in fact a screw type arrangement?

I remember when our dealer opened up there new place and they did have a HD jack. It is a screw type mechanism with a folding handle. Sort of like your car jacks now-a-days. The only bad thing, IMHO, is the tube which houses the screw goes up along side the bike. As do the support brackets.
I saw one and didn't care for it because the crank is in the way once it is raised,hydraulic ones with a foot pump are below the bike when it is in the air and more out of your way, I'll stick with my J & S
My wife bought me one several years ago and I love. Because it is a crank model it is perfect for removing and installing wheels. You can dial it in to the exact height you want.
Bought mine a couple of years ago. Its heavy duty steel and welds made in U.S.A., not the thin steel I saw on others. It is hand cranked and works every time. No hydraulics to go out. This year I am going to remove the handle and use my cordless drill to crank it up.
